As of today, the 17th Septermber 2009, the 29th Cambridge Film Festival will be underway. 11 days of some of the best new independent and foreign cinema with a dash of old favourites revisited, short films, documentaries, and special features. It’s one of the largest film festivals in the UK and worth visiting for anyone in or around the area. The Film Festival website says:
First established in 1977, the Cambridge Film Festival Festival has been committed to delivering high quality independent films to the widest possible audience. Bold and imaginative in its presentation of films, the Festival embraces the latest technology, while also showcasing its passion for the heritage of cinema.
Since 2007, the Festival has been run by a registered charity, the Cambridge Film Trust, as the highlight of a year-round programme of events that aim to bring challenging and provocative cinema to Cambridge and the Eastern region.
I will be visiting as it’s an event I have attended for many years and is partially responsible for my passion in cinema. Sadly I can only see as many films as my budget and time will allow me, but I will be attempting to report on everything I see. I will also be reviewing some films for the Film Festival Daily, where you can get full coverage on the entire festival.
