Alchemy Film & Arts

Using film as a way to come together, have conversations and strengthen community.

Alchemy Film & Arts is based in the Scottish Borders town of Hawick. We work with artists and communities across local, national and international contexts, using film as a way to come together, have conversations and strengthen community.

FESTIVAL

Our flagship event, Alchemy Film and Moving Image Festival, is the UK’s festival of experimental film and artists’ moving image, unfolding with the solidarity, hospitality and warmth for which it is known in Hawick each spring.

Call for entries – discounted submissions close 31 July
