The 2010 Festival preview programme is being sent out over the weekend or is available to collect from the Arts Picturehouse if you happen to be passing. We’ve uploaded the PDF (its 10Mb but worth the bandwidth) here for those who can’t wait or can’t get into town on this Bank Holiday weekend…

Please note that it’s not final, some things have changed already and the dates/times will be announced later this weekend.

We’re all very excited that the programme for the 2010 Cambridge Film Festival is about to be announced.  The first people to see it will be the audience for tonight’s open-air screening of TWILIGHT:ECLIPSE on Grantchester Meadows this evening (more here), but the Box Office will be opening this week and this website will be in Festival mode from then… check back for more details, or sign up for the Festival Newsletter if you want to be the first to know.

We have had an overwhelming response this year in the submissions department and received around 700 films of a very high standard, including features, documentaries, and shorts. There has been a wonderful variety of styles and genres ranging from animation to live action, fact and fiction, comedy and drama. It took about five months to watch all the films – twice, so we could be sure of our choices.

We are proud to announce our final selection
