Those CFF events (afterwards)

More views of - or at - Cambridge Film Festival 2011
(Click here to go directly to the Festival web-site)


26 September

It's all over for another year!

So time (well, a little) to take stock of what was seen (S) or missed (M), what was given up on (G), what blogged about (B), and what even reviewed (R, some of them even making it to the Festival web-site - bizarrely, for a film only screened at 8.30 and which finished at around 10.20, reviews are already closed for The Look, which (when there is no time to have written a review on the last day), along with the voting, is something that I have never understood...), with L for the reviews that were lost*, and, now (29/9/2011), N for reviews written after the Festival (N = new)

* I am now changing some of those 'L's to 'R's, as the reviews have started appearing (Ap., 27/9/2011)
