Venues

To mark our new September dates, we’ve been scouting out locations across the city so that you can experience our films in unique and creative ways. So in 2008 the Festival is taking place not only at the Arts Picturehouse and The Junction but also at Wesley Methodist Church and Wysing Arts Centre, as well as in the more unconventional settings of Magdalene Street, the Institute of Astronomy and along the banks of the river Cam!
