The HB Film Festival is an independent film festival held annually in Paisley, Scotland, typically in October. Founded in 2018, its mission is to highlight independent cinema, showcasing a selection of local and international short and feature films. The festival, which has been recognized among FilmFreeway's Top 100 Best Reviewed Festivals, aims to provide a platform for low-budget and indie filmmakers, offering workshops, networking, and screening opportunities. It distinguishes itself by not beginning its judging process until after the final submission deadline, ensuring every film has an equal chance of selection.
