CAMBRIDGE FILM TRUST 

The Cambridge Film Trust fosters film culture and education in Cambridge and the Eastern region but also throughout the UK. We deliver a portfolio of screenings, special events and tailor-made projects enabling people to be moved by, learn about and interact with film. The highlight of our programme is the Cambridge Film Festival, one of the most innovative events of its kind in the country.
