Cambridge Film Festival 2010 Brochure

Tuesday 21 September, 6.30pm
THE ART OF THE MID-LENGTH (CFF 18) 95 mins.
Size is not an issue for the Festival as we do appreciate works that dare to break the ‘15 minute
rule’- in other words - festivals’ favourite (maximum) length. Liberated from those taboos, we
are showcasing four excellent mid-flight films that champion profound storytelling and defy
time restrictions.
Friday 17 September, 11.00pm
TRIDENTFEST (CFF 18) 63 mins.
Back with a vengeance after last year’s slot, the staff of the
Cambridge Arts Picturehouse bring lots of unsettling surprises for
audiences lucky/unlucky enough to witness them for themselves…
