Book now for our Riverside Screenings, the quintessentially Cambridge experience – cinema on a punt!
Imagine yourself sitting in a punt as it glides through the atmospheric, nocturnal stillness of the Cam, a glass of bubbly in hand, cinema screens on the riverbank flickering into life as you approach. Welcome to our Riverside Screenings – a much-praised addition to the 2008 Festival programme, back this year.
Embark from Grantchester at dusk on a chauffeured punt to watch our selection of specially curated films, each evening based around a different theme. We provide champagne, warm blankets and the promise of a memorable and magical event.
Check in at the Red Lion pub in Grantchester from 7.30pm where you can enjoy a drink or pre-punt supper. Once checked in, you’ll be escorted to the punts, which will be departing at 15 minute intervals between 8.00pm and 9.00pm.
What’s on
Thursday 10 September, 7.30pm | HEARTLAND (CFF PG)
Nurture your inner romantic with a series of shorts and excerpts focusing on love. In keeping with the dramatic setting, the programme explores the theme of romance and its melodramatic qualities.
Saturday 12 September, 7.30pm | UP TO THE SOUTH (CFF PG)
At once challenging and touching, personal and political, Jayce Salloum and Walid Ra’ad’s UP TO THE SOUTH (TALEEN A JUNUUB) provides a lyrical insight into the minds, hearts, and lived reality of the people of southern Lebanon – and tests the border between art and documentary. This screening is part of CARTES POSTALES: FROM BEIRUT WITH LOVE, a selection of artists’ moving image film and video works specially curated for the Festival.
Monday 14 September, 7.30pm | PAST TIME (CFF PG)
Take a trip back into the region’s past with an archive programme featuring East Anglia in days gone by. Poignant, nostalgic, captivating – with a few comedic touches along the way.
Thursday 24 September, 7.30pm | DARKLIGHT (CFF 15)
A programme of creepy clips to chill the blood and make you wonder whether that owl you heard really was an owl. Do you dare?
