Well, let's take one deep breath to blow the cobwebs off this thing. Been a little while, hasn't it? We had to shy away from the limelight for a spell while we made all our preparations, but now…

CWFF 09 Now Online!

Second deep breath to tell you all the exciting news! We're very very pleased to announce the CWFF 09 programme is now available online! Get over to the CWFF website now to see all the changes:

See the spanking new CWFF 09 trailer on the home page, featuring music from Sportsday Megaphone! Have a quick peruse of the full CWFF 09 programme - lots going on. See it all in more detail on the Films and Events pages. And find out how to get down there (and thanks to some engineering works it could be a challenge) on the Venues page.

And there's an extra special treat up there. This year, CWFF is extremely lucky to have Eran Creevy as festival Ambassador. He's the director of 'Shifty', "saviour of British independent film", and he only lives down the road. We interviewed Eran for a little feature in the CWFF 09 Festival Guide, but he's such a cool guy with so many great stories, we decided to put the whole thing up on the website. Read all about his inauspicious start in the film industry! Who wouldn't he trust with his girlfriend or small animals? Read his tips for aspiring young filmmakers!
