About The Society

Cinecam exists to provide a community of filmmakers in Cambridge, consisting not only of university members but also ARU students and other Cambridge residents.

Our aim is to allow everyone with an interest in making films to do so. We help bring to fruition people's projects by producing films as a society (including a Freshers' Film) as well as offering contacts, advice and equipment for members pursuing independent projects.

We run a number of competitions throughout the year culminating in our showpiece the Cinecam film festival, which showcases the best filmmaking talent. We also organise events including workshops, talks by industry professionals and screenings of student films. This website aims to keep people abreast of everything we are involved in and to provide a forum through which filmmakers can get in contact with each other.

History

Cinecam is in its third year after taking over from CFTV (Cambridge Film and Television) in the summer of 2003. It retains the crucial elements of the old society, such as the provision of equipment and the annual film festival, but has added new events, projects and competitions to make the film-making scene more vibrant. It has grown significantly in membership and profile over the last two years and intends to continue growing at an even faster rate this year.
