The festival is also looking for amateur Super 8 Films shot in Cambridge in the 60s, 70s and 80s for a very special programme.

If you have film reels of events (for instance the Queen’s silver jubilee, boat races, etc.) or life in Cambridge or in local villages, please contact us, we’d love to show them at a special screening…
