The Cambridge Film Festival starts today and runs until July 15th. It's the 27th such event to illuminate the Fenland and goes from strength to strength. Among a small number of Asian titles, a definite highlight is the UK Premiere of Studio Ghibli's latest Tales From Earthsea, from Goro - son-of - Miyazaki, as is the UK Prem of anticipated Pakistani zombie flick Hell's Ground (Zibahkhana).
Other stuff to look out for: Taiwanese director Leste Chen's follow-up to horror The Heirloom - gay drama Eternal Summer; Indonesian auteur Garin Nugroho's musical epic Opera Jawa; Apichatpong Weerasathakul's Syndromes and a Century; anime in the form of Satoshi Kon's Paprika and the feature length Ghost in the Shell: Solid State Society. Chinese director Jian Yi is also on hand for the screening of his doc Super Girls!, following several would-be pop idols as they try their luck at China's biggest TV singing contest.
Take a punt downriver, look at some old college buildings, see where Isaac Newton discovered gravity, and, of course, watch movies.
