Palin under lights at Cambridge.
August 31st 2009 04:58
We’re delighted to announce that four-time BAFTA nominee and two-time BAFTA winner Michael Palin will be interviewed exclusively by The Culture Show’s Mark Kermode on stage at Ely Cathedral as a part of the 2009 Cambridge Film Festival!
The event will take place on Wednesday 23 September at 7.30pm and will be preceded by a special signing session of Palin’s latest book Halfway to Hollywood Diaries 1980-1988.
Palin will be sharing anecdotes and unheard stories from his time in the film industry in the 1980’s and the event will be illustrated with film clips from his body of work including A FISH CALLED WANDA, FIERCE CREATURES and many more.
Tickets are available right now from the Cambridge Film Festival or Arts Picturehouse websites, in person at the Cambridge Arts Picturehouse or by calling 0871 704 2050 (10p per minute from a landline).
The price of your ticket covers both the signing and the event itself and by purchasing a ticket you are agreeing to your image being used as the event will be televised on The Culture Show.
Also, book now for the Riverside Screenings, the quintessentially Cambridge experience – cinema on a punt!
Imagine yourself sitting in a punt as it glides through the atmospheric, nocturnal stillness of the Cam, a glass of bubbly in hand, cinema screens on the riverbank flickering into life as you approach. Welcome to the Riverside Screenings – a much-praised addition to the 2008 Festival programme, back this year.
Embark from Grantchester at dusk on a chauffeured punt to watch the selection of specially curated films with a different theme each evening. The festival promises a memorable evening and all is provided each Autumn evening.
Check in at the Red Lion pub in Grantchester from 7.30pm where you can enjoy a drink or pre-punt supper. Once checked in, you’ll be escorted to the punts, which will be departing at 15 minute intervals between 8.00pm and 9.00pm.
What’s on
Thursday 10 September, 7.30pm | HEARTLAND (CFF PG)
Nurture your inner romantic with a series of shorts and excerpts focusing on love. In keeping with the dramatic setting, the programme explores the theme of romance and its melodramatic qualities.
Saturday 12 September, 7.30pm | UP TO THE SOUTH (CFF PG)
At once challenging and touching, personal and political, Jayce Salloum and Walid Ra’ad’s UP TO THE SOUTH (TALEEN A JUNUUB) provides a lyrical insight into the minds, hearts, and lived reality of the people of southern Lebanon – and tests the border between art and documentary. This screening is part of CARTES POSTALES: FROM BEIRUT WITH LOVE, a selection of artists’ moving image film and video works specially curated for the Festival.
Monday 14 September, 7.30pm | PAST TIME (CFF PG)
Take a trip back into the region’s past with an archive programme featuring East Anglia in days gone by. Poignant, nostalgic, captivating – with a few comedic touches along the way.
Thursday 24 September, 7.30pm | DARKLIGHT (CFF 15)
A programme of creepy clips to chill the blood and make you wonder whether that owl you heard really was an owl. Do you dare?
