The start of the 27th Cambridge Film Festival has arrived. Well, to be honest, it arrived on Tuesday with Michael Nyman doing a live accompaniment to Vertov's 'Kino Pravda 21' and Vigo's 'A Propos to Nice' - which we missed!

This year, due to other pressing commitments I will be scaling back the number of films that I shall be reviewing. However, we are fortunate that 'The Poet' will be stepping forward and entering into the old nofear spirit of things by providing us with some further film reviews.

As well as this there may be a podcast or two, although these will probably come along later when we've got enough to talk about.

In the meantime you may also want to visit the pages of sneersnipe who appears to be a prolific film reviewer based in Cambridge.

Expect more updates soon!

This time we've had to record our podcast in the kitchen next to the bar at the Arts Picturehouse. As well as mentioning 'Happy As One' we also discuss the annoying phenomenon of "the sycophant club", the popularity of the bar and it's proliferation of laptop users, and the effect of Nazi control on German film export success.

Download it directly from here, or look us up on ITunes!

Another 20 minute wibble about a couple of films that we've seen, plus Hamgray rants about the increasing number of wannabe filmmakers at the festival who use the Q&A sessions with famous people as a poor attempt to jump on the movie-making bandwagon.

Direct download from here.

Apparently you can also get hold of us on ITunes as well.

I'd also point out that our podcasts are a lot shorter than the official ones and have less advertising information!

Continuing our semi-regular and un official podcasts about this year's film festival...

Now we've seen a couple of films hamgray and 'the poet' describe their thoughts on 'Pirates of the Caribbean' and the first of the short film collection. Hamgray also explains why people who work at the Picturehouse cinema in Cambridge are all known as the "clumpies".

You can download it here, look us up on iTunes, or use the feed link from the 1st podcast posting.

Here's our first un official podcast about this year's Cambridge Film Festival. Recorded in the disabled toilet of the main venue for the event, and introduced by Orson Welles. Hamgray and Doug discuss the previous years that we have attended, and reflect on how life and film has changed in the last three years!

You can listen to it here, and it should be available as a proper podcast via ITunes very soon after this post goes up.

Nofear.org's Unofficial Cambridge Film Festival podcast Feed

It's July! Our fans will no doubt be aware that this means it is time to embrace the event known as "The Cambridge Film Festival". After a break of a year, this time in 2006 your nofear authors will be taking the week off again to see as many of the weird and wonderful films as possible.

This year we are dabbling with podcasts and we'll be doing 5 un official podcasts from the film festival bar. We'll be talking about which famous people and which films we have seen, and also talking about ourselves mainly. So tune in, if for no other reason than just to see if we actually manage to generate anything.
