Borderlines Film Festival


Borderlines is an annual film festival held in multiple locations around the Herefordshire, Shropshire and Powys borders. The first festival took place in 2003.

History

Borderlines Film Festival started in 2003 with the ambition to deliver a rural film festival covering Herefordshire and Shropshire. It was reportedly the country's first rural film festival. By 2015 it was reported as being "the UK's largest rural film festival". In 2019 the event attracted 21,678 attendances.
The festival has shown films in a range of unusual circumstances, including a cycle ride to a moviebus and showing Casablanca in an aircraft hangar in Shobdon.
Borderlines has two patrons: Francine Stock and Chris Menges.
