🗓 HippFest will return from 20-24 March 2024, save the date!

The Hippodrome Silent Film Festival is Scotland’s first and only festival of silent film with live music, centred in and inspired by Scotland’s first and oldest cinema; featuring exceptional screenings, commissions, workshops, community events and touring. Renowned for its warm welcome and inclusive atmosphere, HippFest attracts a broad audience of cinema-goers, music lovers, and industry professionals, cultivating an international community with an adventurous appetite for extraordinary cinema.

'If we have a more fun night at the pictures we'll be surprised. One of the jewels in Scotland's film calendar. Anyone needing to be convinced of the multitudes of silent film need look no further.' - The Skinny 

HippFest is delivered by its key funder Falkirk Council, supported by Film Hub Scotland part of the BFI’s Film Audience Network, and funded by Screen Scotland and National Lottery funding from the BFI.
