Come and discover what the Cambridgeshire film community has to offer.
Lost for Words [showing together with short film Saturday Night Butch]
When Lana bumps into an old friend in a bookshop, an unexpected night of reflection begins. A gentle, hopeful drama set in Ely, this local gem offers warmth, heart and quiet transformation.
Measures For a Funeral
Audrey Benac unearths the story of a forgotten violinist in this lyrical meditation on art, memory and ambition, as she hunts for a lost concerto and reckons with echoes of her own past.
