The Cambridge Film Festival opens for its 45th edition, running until November 1 at the Cambridge Arts Picturehouse. The festival will feature 11 days of international cinema, including UK and European premieres, documentaries, short films and family favourites.

Among the headline attractions are gala screenings of Cristian Mungiu's Palme d'Or winner Fjord, Clio Barnard's I See Buildings Fall Like Lightning, and Jesse Eisenberg's latest feature The Debut. Martin McDonagh's Wild Horse Nine will close the festival. The programme spans major Cannes prizewinners and hotly anticipated new releases alongside films from emerging voices in contemporary cinema.

Savina Petkova, the festival's programming lead, said the breadth of the programme was what excited her most, ranging from award-winning films to new voices audiences may be discovering for the first time. The festival features an Environment & Community strand, a Family Film Festival with free screenings, and BFI's Rip It Up: Out Loud, which explores youth rebellion and self-expression through cinema. Additional events include an industry day, film quiz, audience and jury awards, and a special 45th-anniversary screening of Portrait of a Lady on Fire.
