TRANSPORTED: THE ART OF THE TRAIN ON FILM<br />
FREE OUTDOOR FILMS • FAMILY FILM SHOW • SPECIAL SCREENINGS • CAMBRIDGE - THE 3D EXPERIENCE!<br />
You don’t have to be a trainspotter to enjoy watching trains.<br />
Whether it’s the whirring wheels and demonic mechanics or space<br />
for reflection in magnificent landscapes that trains represent,<br />
trains have exerted a strange fascination on filmmakers from<br />
the earliest days of cinema. This programme offers some of the<br />
purest approaches to trains on film, the ballets of steam and<br />
motion and dream-filled journeys which have used the magic of<br />
cinema to most extraordinary effect.<br />
We’re mixing some classic gems with contemporary work in two<br />
compilation programmes; inviting a celebrated contemporary<br />
artist to explain why trains exert such strong fascination; giving<br />
families their own programme of transport fare; and a newlycommissioned<br />
film will celebrate the importance of trains in<br />
<strong>Cambridge</strong> life, courtesy of two technological wizards using 3D<br />
timelapse technology.<br />
We hope you will be . . . transported!<br />
