After a wonderful opening night where actor Claire Rushbrook joined us for a Q&A and a screening of ALI & AVA, Cambridge Film Festival is in full swing today (and for the next week) bringing you 100 films we think you will LOVE.
Friend of CFF Tilda Swinton stars in Apichatpong Weerasethakul's sonic, other-worldly experience MEMORIA. Don't miss this one-off Cambridge screening.
"The Thai master’s English-language debut – about an expat attuned to strange frequencies in Colombia – more than matches his past mystic odysseys.

Elisabeth Vogler's first feature is a seamlessly choreographed single take along the glorious Parisian streets and a beautiful reflection on human connection.

There is a shared trajectory not only in the shared passage through the city but a communal future echoing titles such as the Iron Ministry.
