Building up to our 25th edition. It has to be special.

Saw this as a preview @borderlinesff.bsky.social and it was one of the highlights for me. A beautiful, measured and humane film.

Waiting & Making - read my blog about trying to be creative when health/NHS waiting lists get in the way. Despite these difficulties, the animated short film I made, ‘I only dream of horses’, has been accepted for @borderlinesff.bsky.social Open Screen rebeccafarkas.blogspot.com/2026/02/wait...

Last day of a fabulous @borderlinesff.bsky.social but plenty of cinema on your doorstep throughout the rest of the year with @artsalive.bsky.social - next up for us #Festival Favourite #isthisthingon on Thursday 23 April..

The Beauty of @borderlinesff.bsky.social with @artsalive.bsky.social not one, not two, but three chances to see #TheChoral across the region on the evening of Thursday 12 March www.youtube.com/watch?list=T... 16s

@borderlinesff.bsky.social Watched ‘All That's Left of You’ the Courtyard Theatre this afternoon; what a beautiful and perfectly balanced film. Wonderful performance from even the youngest actors and I confess it left me watery eyed. 5*

THE LAST VIKING ALERT Today's screening at Richard Booth's Bookshop Cinema in Hay (Friday 13 7.00pm) has now been rescheduled TO SUNDAY 15 at 7.00pm. We apologise for any inconvenience (and for Mads Mikkelsen's perm).

The Love That Remains - really got swept away in this - some absolutely genius surreal moments (neither jarring nor twee) woven into the brutally real. Funny; painful; beautiful (oh, Iceland… 🩵). V lucky to have @borderlinesff.bsky.social film festival on our doorstep. #filmsky

"There are no red carpets, no Riviera backdrop and no industry market for acquisition deals. Instead, a circuit of historic theatres, arts centres and community venues transforms the region into a vibrant network of venues for local cinephiles." BFI website www.bfi.org.uk/features/int...

A pint of the black (and white) stuff and @eddiemuller.bsky.social’s Gun Crazy book in the run up to the @filmnoiruk.bsky.social screenings at this year’s @borderlinesff.bsky.social. It’s a great read by the way! #Guinness #FilmNoir #thebookimreadingthedrinkimdrinking

The live music was excellent, really made this film. Glad I was persuaded to get a ticket!

Wonderful to have Victoria Mapplebeck at #borderlines2025 on #iwd2025 with her film Motherboard. Filmed almost entirely on 6 generations of smartphone, it’s a moving, funny, honest and intimate account of bringing up her son Jim as a single parent. borderlinesfilmfestival.co.uk/film/motherb...

ON FALLING is a magnificent, timely film about the asset stripping of our souls that not only enriches its audience but also steels our resolve to rise up and to understand that we have nothing to lose but our mind chains. www.theguardian.com/film/2024/se...

There’s one unedited shot in the film, she explains, that follows Aurora working in real time: “It feels long and I’m thinking, ‘That’s two minutes – this person is doing this 10 hours a day.’” – @lauracarreira.bsky.social in @theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/film/2025/ma...
