Fundraiser for Our Goal
Our opening night film Copa 71 was a sell out, and we were privileged to have a Q&A with lost Lionesses Gill Sayell, Chris Lockwood and Leah Caleb who played in Mexico in 1971, along with Kerry Davis (England’s first Black Lioness) and Issy Pollard (Hebden Bridge’s own ex-Lioness), and Professor Jean Williams (sports academic) and Ella Williams (COPA 71 chief researcher).
Thank you to everyone who bought raffle tickets or made a donation - we have raised £512 for Our Goal, a not-for-profit set up by Ella Williams to empower girls and women through mentoring programmes and community football. If you missed the raffle but would still like to donate you can do so below.

PATRON MAXINE PEAKEI am delighted to be the Hebden Bridge Film Festival Patron. Since it started in 2019 Hebden Bridge Film Festival has brought the community together in a joyous celebration of films from around the world, giving voice to those who sit outside the mainstream. This year’s theme, "Imagine Together", is very apt and cinema can bring us together in a space where we can re-imagine a world where we can all be free. Have a wonderful festival. |
Check out the 2023 festival - it was a blast!
WELCOME TO HBFFWith over 500 years of non-conformism in the valley it seems fitting that the Hebden Bridge Film Festival theme is "Imagine Together". 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, 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.
NICOLE TAYLOR, WRITER WILD ROSE“The friendliest festival on earth! We were made so welcome by everyone involved in the Festival and indeed the whole town. The atmosphere on opening night was electric and ever since I’ve been looking for an excuse to return to Hebden Bridge!” |
