Hebrides International Film Festival

27/09/2025

Today is the final day of the Film Festival. Muriel Ann, our Festival Director, was interviewed by Alex Minnis of Nordic Watchlist, speaking about the festival's Nordic connections and about some of the film selections in the Festival.

The Hebrides International Film Festival is in full swing now and Nordic Watchlist got the opportunity to have a quick catch-up with the festival's director Murial Ann about its connections to all things Nordic and some of the films selections she has at the festival.

Calling all filmmakers, artists and nature enthusiasts in the islands! 🎥🐋

You are invited to join wildlife filmmaker Mark Verkerk for a FREE hands-on masterclass about using film to spark ecological awareness and change. Mark will be hosting two masterclasses, first in Lewis, then in Uist:

🪸 An Lanntair, Stornoway: Friday 26th September at 1pm

🌊 Carinish Hall, North Uist: Sat 27th September at 12pm

Drawing on his latest film North Sea: Nature Untamed (part of the festival programme), Mark will share tips on storytelling, filming with purpose, and treating the natural world with respect.

Together we’ll look at how local stories from the Hebrides can resonate far beyond the islands, explore different ways of shaping an ecological story, and talk openly about the challenges and responsibilities of filming wildlife. With plenty of time for questions and discussion, this session is all about inspiring filmmakers to see every shot as a chance to bring people closer to nature.

For bookings in Uist, visit the link in our bio.

For tickets in Stornoway, please visit An Lanntair’s website.

We are happy to announce that Peatland Action are this year’s Festival sponsor! 😊

Tomorrow kicks off the Hebrides International Film Festival(HIFF), which this year is focused on the theme of Sustainable Rural Lives. We're delighted to have supported HIFF 2025 with a few of our Peatland ACTION case studies showing before the main screenings.

If you're heading along to one of the events, look out for our short videos which share how farmers and crofters have engaged with Peatland ACTION funding and the benefits they have felt following peatland restoration.

We will also have materials and colleagues at a few screenings for those who have any questions.

👨‍🍳 Did you know that you have to stir clockwise when you stir your oatmeal? Otherwise you’re letting the devil into your porridge. Everyone knows this- at least in the village of Carrbridge in the Scottish Highlands. For 30 years the town has hosted the World Porridge Championships. This year it’s a special championship because it’s the last time Charlie Miller will be in charge of the festivities.
