We are a group of people with a passion for Short Films. Based in Cambridge we have been showing both local and international short films at our Strawberry Shorts Film Festival and at a host of other local venues since 2001.

Short films, because of their time and budget restraints, are often honed to the essence of film making, pared down to produce exquisite jewels of the craft, cut and polished until a couple of minutes of no budget short can outshine the latest 3D Hollywood blockbuster.

Every year we receive hundreds of film submissions of every genera. Dramas, animation documentaries experimental, Si Fi and horror which we screen at many venues in and around Cambridge.

Cambridge Cinema Shorts in conjunction with Strawberry Fair and the Arts Picture House are delighted to present an evening of short films. This is a Strawberry Fair benefit event but entry is free and the only call on pockets, should the mood take you, will be for the café bar and a voluntary contribution when the hat is passed around during the evening. We have a superb selection of films to offer from our extensive archive and discussion and comment will be welcome.

The event takes place on Thursday 17th April at the Arts Picture House, Cambridge in the café bar which is, of course, open all day but screening will begin at 9.00pm after audiences for the main films have left for their auditoriums.
