Home | Cromarty Film Festival

For the first time - in 16 years - an all-female team is leading the Cromarty Film festival. We offered a flavour of things to come with our events on 3rd + 4th December. Now the main activities are taking place from 24th-26th March. To mark the festival's start and end, we’re hosting free projections on Cromarty Lighthouse. The programme has been thoughtfully planned to cater for every age and taste - we’ve got docs, shorts, classics, animation, anime, workshops, talks, brand new films plus a dash of comedic horror to keep everyone alert!

We start off the weekend with a special screening in the Screen Machine for the whole of Cromarty Primary School. We’re delighted to welcome new guests, project partners and festival benefactors on board. Delicious food and food trucks will be available with special offers to link in with certain films.

Testimonials

To me, Cromarty Film Festival is all the things a film festival should be. The programme, pricing and complementary events attracted a broad range of people and brought them together. The programme introduced many of us to something new whilst offering the comfort of the familiar. I appreciated that this year’s festival was led by women – that may have accounted for the efficiency and human nature of the event. Whatever, it worked. I thoroughly enjoyed it and have been banging on to others about how good it was. Thanks to all concerned for a thoroughly enjoyable weekend – it all went very smoothly and was a fab event: probably due to the enormous amount of thought and work that went into making it all happen.
