the closing day of the festival | The 41st Cambridge Film Festival finishes tonight with a closing night screening of THE SILENT TWINS, which tells the astounding true story of twin sisters who only communicated with one another. As a result, they created a rich, fantasy world to escape the reality of their own lives. The film treats us to neon galore, musical interludes, and even puppet animation inspired by the sisters' diaries and poems, a hard-hitting feast for the senses. We're thrilled to welcome Director Thomas Hardiman for MEDUSA DELUXE. Amongst a haze of glitter and hairspray, it is discovered that a stylist has been killed and scalped, sending the group of professional hairdressers and models into a tizz. A whodunnit drama emerges as rivalries are stoked and trust is broken within the group. Robbie Ryan's masterful, single-continuous shot follows the suspects and witnesses through the labyrinth of dark staircases and neon-lit rooms in a kaleidoscope of comedy, paranoia, and passions that border on obsession. | | There is a final chance to see BLUE JEAN this evening, Georgia Oakley takes us to Tyneside in the 1980s, as the Section 28 bill is passed by Thatcher's government, and tells the story of a gay P.E. teacher whose sexuality threatens her professional standing. |
