HASTINGS ROCKS INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL will take place 12-14 April 2024 at the Printworks, a unique arts venue formally housing the Hastings Observer print press, and Black Box, a newly renovated arts space in the heart of Hastings Old Town. The Printworks is housed inside a Victorian-Venetian-Gothic style building that originally formed part of the Brassey Institute of Science & Art. It is accessed through Hastings' cyperpunk-esque Gotham Alley, frequently used in film productions. The upper levels, adjacent to the town library, are industrial-chic hotel rooms.
