42nd Cambridge Film Festival Dates

We are incredibly excited to announce that on October 19th 2023, the 42nd Cambridge Film Festival will open its doors and welcome audiences to a seven-day celebration of cinema.

From October 19th - 26th, CFF will present a wide-ranging programme of over 100 titles with something for audiences of all ages and tastes.

This year's programme will include UK premieres of brand-new features, classic retrospectives, insightful documentaries, key European discovery titles, family favourites, an eclectic array of short films, and several international film festival winners.

Sign up for the Festival newsletter and keep an eye on our social media because, over the coming weeks, we will be introducing you to the new members of the talented CFF Programming team and letting you know about lots of the exciting things happening at "Festival Towers" as we work hard to bring you the best Cambridge Film Festival possible!


While we have your attention, we'd love to take a moment to tell you about our Friends & Patrons scheme.
