"A Film I Love..." Streaming this weekend

A quick reminder that CFF at Home kicks off tonight with two remarkable films for the launch of the new online season of "A Film I Love…" the series of popular Pay What You Can Afford events where special guests choose, present and talk about a film they love and why it means so much to them.


The conversations will be available to stream with the films from this evening to Sunday. Full details including how to book are on the Festival website now.

 

Mark Kermode - The Whalebone Box

Mark Kermode has selected a film that he confesses he does not understand at all, Andrew Kötting’s compelling The Whalebone Box.


The film tells the story of three men who undertake a journey to return a box made of whalebone to the place where the whale was beached.

Simon Mayo - Amadeus Director's CutSimon Mayo - Amadeus Directors Cut

Simon Mayo it turns out, really loves the three-hour epic Amadeus, which coincidentally had its UK premiere at Cambridge Film Festival back in 1984. 

 

This masterpiece of filmmaking, which tells the story of the consuming rivalry between Mozart and Salieri, is engaging, beautifully performed and staged, and packed with emotional power.
