Tony Jones, Festival Director. The familiar title fails to convey his multifaceted role, not to mention the tireless commitment Tony has brought to the Festival. He has been producer, entrepreneur, programmer, fundraiser and the heart of the creative vision that has made the Cambridge Film Festival so special. When Tony and I set up the Cambridge Film Trust 13 years ago, we saw that cinema exhibition was changing fast; the opportunities to see and show a diverse range of fi lms were declining. We wanted to counter this with lasting structures within and beyond the Festival to continue to draw people together to watch great cinema. It has been an uphill struggle, but Tony’s passionate enthusiasm for fi lm, his boundless energy, ideas, contacts and unwavering determination have kept us going. It has been a privilege to work with Tony and to be involved in the Festival and its many related activities. Tony picked up the Festival in its early days and built it up into an extraordinarily rich event. He has worked with fi lmmakers, distributors and programmers from around the world. Over the years, he has given numerous talented people their fi rst start in the fi lm industry. He has championed fi lmmakers young and old, fi rst-time directors and auteurs. Through all this, his love of European and global independent cinema has been a guiding force. There is no doubt that without Tony, the Festival would not be here today. He will be enormously missed as Festival Director, but his presence will be felt at all our festivals to come; he will continue to lead on key activities of the Cambridge Film Trust. We wish him well with all his future projects and thank him for his tremendous dedication to cinema in all its forms.

Highlights from major international fi lm festivals include Czech director Adam Sedlak’s directorial debut Domestique, and from Berlin International Film Festival the horror comedy Stitches as well as the Silver Bear Alfred Bauer Award Winner System Crasher. I am particularly looking forward to a fi lm which at this year’s Sundance Film Festival won the World Cinema Dramatic Special Jury Award,Alejandro Landes’ stunning Monos. As visually splendid as it is thought-provoking, this fi lm tells the story of eight teenaged guerrillas with guns who watch over a hostage and a conscripted milk cow. Playing games and initiating cult-like rituals, the children run amok in the jungle. Of course the always popular Camera Catalonia strand returns with Laura Jou’s feature debut, the romantic comedy LifeWithout Sara Amat. Well received by critics and audiences alike in Spain, the fi lm beautifully captures the transition from childhood to adulthood. In addition, Elena Trapé’s second feature Distances, approaches the friends’ reunion genre with a rare direct and naturalistic style. The powerful Human Rights strand includes Zero Impunity, a call to action to join a growing global movement that demands zero tolerance for sexual violence in warzones, and OnThe Inside of a Military Dictatorship, the gripping tale of Myanmar’s disastrous transition from military dictatorship to democracy. So, welcome to arguably the most international of fi lm festivals where you can watch fi lms from all around the world in the comfort of your Cambridge cinema seat. Enjoy!”
