Cambridge Film Festival launches a year of online film events.

Following the unprecedented success of AMPLIFY! Film Festival, which reached audiences across the UK, we're excited to be launching CFF at Home, a brand new project that delivers a range of films and film events year-round, as we get ready to present the 40th Cambridge Film Festival later in 2021.

CFF at Home kicks off THIS WEEKEND (January 8th) 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 Friday to Sunday and 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

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.

Alongside ‘A Film I Love…’ CFF at Home also includes

After a hugely successful 2019, The CFF Young People’s Jury is moving online and expanding to become ‘CFF Youth Lab’.

The Youth Lab is a fantastic film education opportunity for young people in Cambridge and around the country to increase film criticism skills and to develop an understanding of how the film and film exhibition industries work.

A vital part of the year round CFF at Home programme, Cambridge Film Festival In Your Community combines film presentation events in partner community venues with a film exhibition training programme and mentoring scheme.

Delivered in partnership with Cambridge City Council, CFF In your community is moving into its second year with an expanded educational and training element which will lead up to and directly support the community film screening events slated to take place later in 2021.

The first ever AMPLIFY! online film festival is over, but what a time we had — and we've been delighted to hear that you've enjoyed it too,

"A special gift in dark times"

Four top UK film festivals — FilmBath, CINECITY (Brighton), Cambridge, & Cornwall — came together in November 2020 to blast brilliant cinema into the front rooms of a UK-wide audience.

"an effortless & wonderful alternative to a face-to-face film festival"

We have a favour to ask.

These Cambridge Film Festival events are online and available UK wide.

We would really appreciate your help in spreading the word, particularly to friends and family outside Cambridge.

If you can forward this newsletter to just a couple of friends that would be amazing and really help support CFF.

The links below allow you to share this newsletter on social media, which is also very helpful.

Thank you.
