A little bit of HippFest... at Home!

HippFest is Scotland's first and only festival of silent film with live music. In 2021 the festival ran entirely online, reaching a new international community, and since then we have continued to develop the festival’s output across a variety of digital platforms. If you can't make it to an in-person screening don’t worry, you can join us at selected events online! We are excited to extend our celebration of silent film with live music to digital audiences across the world.​
