Cambridge Film Festival
The paper prorgamme's not back from the printers yet (tomorrow, apparently), but here's what I think looks interesting at this year's film festival - lots of documentaries, for some reason. There's an extensive Hitchcock strand, but I have the 14 disc boxset if anyone wants to borrow. I have the week off work (as usual), if anyone wants to meet up for lunch or something.
