We are very sorry to announce that we are postponing the 2020 Hebden Bridge Film Festival. Given the worsening situation with the Covid-19 virus we feel this is the right decision. It is very disappointing as we had a great programme of wonderful films, but the safety of our audience, guests, volunteers and staff is our priority.
We hope to host a revised programme on the last weekend of September (25 – 27) with as many of the programmed films as possible. For pass-holders, your pass will be valid, or you may have a refund if you prefer. All individual ticketholders will be offered a full refund. Everyone will be contacted by email with more information.
Providing the Hebden Bridge Picture House remains open, we will screen Misbehaviour as a one off co-presentation with the Picture House (not as part of the festival) on Friday 27 March (doors 6pm session 7pm). Please come along if it does not put your or others’ health at risk (tickets available on the door at normal prices, passes will not be valid).
We thank everyone for your continued support of the festival and our wonderful community.

WELCOME TO HBFFWith over 500 years of non-conformism in the valley, it seems fitting that the Hebden Bridge Film Festival theme is "The Other". We will be celebrating films by or about those who exist in the margins, sit outside the mainstream or just plain don’t fit in.
HBFF will bring you a dazzling programme of world cinema, and UK and US independent film, as well as supporting and fostering new talent. It will be a packed weekend of exciting new films that will engage, challenge and delight you. |

We are proud to be partnering with the beautifully restored, state-of-the-art Hebden Bridge Picture House cinema, and with Hebden Bridge Town Hall as our Film Festival Hub where filmmakers and film lovers can come together and experience the wonderful community spirit that our beautiful town is so famous for. We can't wait for you to join us.

PATRON MAXINE PEAKE"I am delighted to be the Hebden Bridge Film Festival Patron. Hebden Bridge is a special place for me, and the theme of ‘The Other’ is close to my heart. I couldn’t think of a better place to have a film festival, and I’m sure it will become a destination for film lovers." |
