Ignore the listing of the Festival Top Ten on the right - voting wasn’t stopped after the festival so it doesn’t reflect the real situation. We’ll fix it, but in the meantime here are the results.
It won’t come as too much of a surprise to regular festival-goers to discover that the over-dressed Canadians won our hearts, and that Rock, Paper, Scissors: The Way of the Tosser was the top-rated film.
Winning the audience vote really can make a difference to a film’s fortune - the 2002 audience favourite, the Norwegian comedy ELLING, went on to a nationwide cinema release on the back of its championing by Cambridge’s film lovers - so let’s hope that RPS has similar success.
The rest of the top ten are:
2: The Elephant King
3: How to Cook Your Life
4: Waitress & I Want to be a Secretary
5: A Crude Awakening - Oil Crash
6: Under the Mud
7: Surprise Movie
8: Lady Chatterley
9: Every Step You Take + The Intimacy of Strangers
10: Transylvania
