A Quizzical Night Out

A busy start to the summer!

We kicked off June with our sold-out Big Birthday Film Quiz, hosted by quizmaster Lewis Jones. Teams battled it out in a close contest, with Team Jake emerging victorious. Thank you to everyone who joined us and made it such a memorable night.

Hot on the heels of the quiz was our Pay What You Can Afford screening of SLEEPLESS CITY, winner of the Golden Punt Award at CFF44 and the debut feature from Guillermo Galoe. The screening was followed by a fascinating Q&A with 2025 Jury Member Prof. Tanya Horeck and Dr Isaias Fanlo

35 years of Thelma and Louise

This July marks 35 years to the week since THELMA AND LOUISE premiered at the 15th Cambridge Film Festival in 1991, and we are celebrating it as part of our 45th Birthday programme.

Join us for a special screening of Ridley Scott's road movie at the Arts Picturehouse on Monday 13 July, 6 pm to 8.30 pm. A bold, funny and deeply moving story of friendship, freedom and rebellion, it remains as urgent on the big screen today as it was at its release.

Tickets are once again Pay What You Can Afford, and if you can't afford to pay, please come anyway. Everyone is welcome.
