Details of the 2012 Cambridge Film Festival will appear here shortly

Oliver Postgate and Peter Firmin's Smallfilms production company was responsible for creating many enchanting children's television programmes including THE CLANGERS, IVOR THE ENGINE and BAGPUSS, all of which we're screening today. Characterised by their easy charm, iconic imagery and wonderfully catchy soundtracks, these enduring programmes represent nostalgic reminders of childhood for many parents, who will love sharing them with a new generation of delighted youngsters. "All of the Smallfilms programmes radiate a gentle and natural warmth. Watching them feels like snuggling up in front of a fireplace listening to a kindly uncle reading you a bedtime story." Charlie Brooker, BBC4
