History
Borderlines Film Festival started in 2003 with the ambition to deliver a rural film festival covering Herefordshire and Shropshire.[2] It was reportedly the country's first rural film festival.[3] By 2015 it was reported as being "the UK's largest rural film festival".[4] In 2019 the event attracted 21,678 attendances.[5]
The festival has shown films in a range of unusual circumstances, including a cycle ride to a moviebus[6] and showing Casablanca in an aircraft hangar in Shobdon.[7]
Borderlines has two patrons: Francine Stock and Chris Menges.[8]
