Alchemy Film and Moving Image Festival

Alchemy Film & Arts celebrate a landmark fifteenth edition of their flagship annual film festival in Hawick this spring.

Join Alchemy in the heart of the Scottish Borders for a rich and invigorating edition of the UK’s festival of experimental film and artists’ moving image.

Featuring more than 70 films across an international programme of screenings, exhibitions, new commissions, live performances, and Alchemy's ever-popular Festival Ceilidh, this year’s festival embodies the warmth, togetherness, solidarity and critical engagement for which the festival has become known. This is a typically diverse offering from Alchemy. Even by their own high standards, they are making good on their promise to deliver a festival with the warmth and good politics that they’re known for. All films in this year's cinema programme have descriptive subtitles for Deaf audiences and all Q&As have BSL interpretation.

Whether you’re visiting for a day, staying overnight or just passing through, this is something you’ll want to catch.
