We wanted to take a moment to reflect on the last couple of years and say thank you for your support of the Festival.
As well as bringing in vital funds, our new Friends and Patrons scheme has been a real source of encouragement during these difficult times. Knowing that there are people out there who love the Cambridge Film Festival as much as we do has been a huge support over the last few months.
It's no exaggeration to say that CFF returning to the cinema on the scale we are (with 95 titles from 45 countries, including 21 UK premieres) is thanks in no small part to you!
After more than a year of presenting films through our dedicated online CFF@Home screening room, we're thrilled to be back where we belong, screening films in the Arts Picturehouse from 18th - 25th November.
This year for the first time we're also taking the UK's third longest running film festival online with our first ever solo UK-wide digital programme, streaming between 21stNovember - 5th December.
CFF40 @ Home is a great way to make sure you get to see as many amazing films as possible. When you can't make it to the cinema, it's reassuring to know there is a selection of CFF features and shorts just waiting for you to stream at home.
We're even going to be announcing a few online exclusive titles over the coming weeks!!
We can't wait to welcome you back to the cinema for CFF40, and hope you are as excited about the films below (and the full CFF programme) as we are.
