Welcome to the Hebrides International Film Festival.

Festival Dates : 18th to 27th February 2027

The Hebrides International Film Festival is a unique pan island Film Festival created to deliver access to independent international film - drama and documentary - for the people of the Outer Hebrides. The festival presents screenings in community venues across the islands of Lewis, Harris, Uist and Barra and in An Lanntair Arts Centre in Stornoway. The festival champions high quality independent features and short films from Scottish, National and International independent film makers.

HIFF also undertakes outreach activities which are linked to the content of the film programme, this year we will be presenting industry masterclasses with visiting UK film makers, Discussion events, Film Q&A’s, outdoor wildlife lectures and walks, whale watching and beach cleans.

Our theme in 2027 is: Turning the Tide - compelling film stories and climate documentaries.

More about us:

The Hebrides International Film Festival is a curated Festival, meaning we hand pick all of the films shown in collaboraton with our local island promoters. We are a small, passionate team, and each of the films we screen connects in some way to island culture the climate change crisis and relevant island issues.
