@ The Light Cinema
Cambridge Film Festival is returning to The Light Cinema
After a year's break we're thrilled to be taking the Cambridge Film Festival back to The Light Cinema. 15 of the Festival's very best films are screening at The Light with many of them UK premieres!

The programme at The Light really is a 3 day "mini festival within the Festival" with something for everybody.
Friday the 26th opens with...
The UK premiere of the multi-award winning THE WITCH HUNTERS, a beautiful tale of a boy who lives in his imagination until a new friendship offers him a window into a reality beyond anything he could dream up.

Fresh from winning the Audience Award at Rotterdam Film Festival is the compelling and crowd pleasing, THE GUILTY, which takes place in a police control room and centres on Asger who has been taken off front line duty while being investigated.

The newly restored FAIL SAFE is a gripping Cold War thriller which explores how a nuclear war could be started accidentally through computer errors and human misunderstandings.

The latest work from two-time Oscar nominee Gus Van Sant DON’T WORRY, HE WON’T GET FAR ON FOOT starring Joaquin Phoenix, Rooney Mara, Jack Black and Jonah Hill.

Friday is rounded out by the UK premiere of IS THAT YOU? a Cuban psychological horror that is the debut feature from director Rudy Riverón Sánchez.
Saturday the 27th brings...
AMÉRICA to The Light, a film which tells the poignant story of three brothers forced to care for their 93 year old grandmother in southwest Mexico.

A rare big screen presentation of a film which dramatises the events of Washington’s most famous scandal ALL THE PRESIDENT’S MEN is maybe more relevant today than when it was made!

THE WALDHEIM WALTZ is Ruth Beckermann’s shocking and suspenseful account of Kurt Waldheim’s controversial campaign to become President of Austria in 1986, a campaign which sparked an international scandal.

The all-star lineups continue with Oscar Isaac, Olivia Wilde, Olivia Cooke and a stunning turn from Antonio Banderas in the pan-generational family epic LIFE ITSELF.

There is family drama of a more intimate family kind in the absolutely hilarious road movie I LOVE MY MUM.

Finally on Sunday 28th...
Hirokazu Kore-eda’s Palme d’or winning SHOPLIFTERS is the story of a family surviving through a life of petty crime on the fringes of urban Japanese society, while Sergi Portabella's coming-of-age road movie JEAN-FRANÇOIS AND THE MEANING OF LIFE is reminiscent of the cinema of Truffaut and his sensitive portrayal of children.

A new restoration of Billy Wilder’s comic masterpiece SOME LIKE IT HOT, starring Marilyn Monroe promises an utterly joyous big screen experience.

The “final” acting performance from bona fide hollywood legend Robert Redford, alongside Sissy Spacek, Casey Affleck and Danny Glover in David Lowery’s THE OLD MAN AND THE GUN.

Closing out the festival within the Festival is supernatural thriller ISABELLE, starring Adam Brody and Amanda Crew (Silicon Valley) as an all American couple who move into a new neighborhood and are confronted by an evil presence that wants nothing more than their very lives.

This is just a part of the wider Cambridge Film Festival, full details can be found on the Official Festival Website.
