Drying for Freedom
DRYING FOR FREEDOM is a thought-provoking, original and absorbing documentary which investigates the decline in the washing line and the toll of electricity upon the environment, writes Lillie Davidson.
Indignados
Serious and political, ambitious and thoughtful: INDIGNADOS is a Modernist collage that alerts us to the ongoing revolution in Europe, and demonstrates the power, rather than the magic, of film, writes H. Chan.
Chasing Ice
CHASING ICE follows the Extreme Ice Survey while they set up dozens of remote time-lapse cameras in order to monitor the retreat of several major glaciers. Lucy Sheppard reviews.
Vertigo
What is there left to say about the film that was recently voted the greatest movie ever made in Sight and Sound magazine’s prestigious decennial poll? Gavin Midgley has something to say.
The Hidden Face
As the twist kicks in half-way through, the superficial lining of THE HIDDEN FACE is shown to possess real darkness and potency, writes Edd Elliott
Hands Over The City (Le Mani Sulla Città)
Following SALVATORE GIULIANO, the story of the Sicilian separatist cum bandit, Francesco Rosi focuses on the speculative land boom of his native Naples with HANDS OVER THE CITY. Mark Byrnes reviews.
George Perry on Hitchcock
This year the festival invited George Perry to give a talk on Alfred Hitchcock before a screening of VERTIGO. Hitchcock’s popularity has never really faded, and Perry is something of a character himself, writes H. Chan.
Surprise Film
A stunning opening leads to a moving film full of suspense, surprises and shocking truths which touch to the core. The annual SURPRISE FILM screens on Sunday 23rd at 5pm. Hannah Clarkson reviews.
Visions from Estonia
If you ask people from the Cambridge area, or even the UK, very few will be able to say they’ve seen an Estonian film. From viewing VISIONS FROM ESTONIA, the real filmmaking talent lies in animation, writes Jack McCurdy.
