Q&A with Ryd Cook director of Away

Q&A which was run as part of Cut It Short! a benefit film screening for The Strawberry Shorts Film Festival.

We're looking for short films by local, national and international filmmakers for The Strawberry Shorts Film Festival 2010 http://tinyurl.com/43p228, which will be held on Midsummer Common, Cambridge, Friday the 4th and Saturday the 5th of June. Films can be of any genre but should be less than 20 minutes long. The submissions deadline is noon on Friday the 23rd of April. We accept films on DV, Data DVD or DVD. To submit films, fill in the submission form http://tinyurl.com/ydkxr87 and return with films to the address at the bottom of the submission form. For more details on film submission email at cabaret@simonmullen.com.

The Film Festival will have a focus on local Cambridgeshire home-grown talent with our Best New Local Filmmakers Competitive Programme. But we also welcome film from outside our region, bringing some of Britain's great new film talent to a large, friendly and receptive local audience.

At Strawberry Shorts we like to foster a performance element in the proceedings and to this end have been aided over the years by a fantastic crew of performance artists who have taken on the rolls of usherettes, popcorn sellers and the moral majority. Seeing is believing.

Strawberry Fair is one of Europe's largest free festivals and is held annually on Midsummer Common, Cambridge, on the first Saturday in June. The fair is run by a voluntary committee of local people and accepts no commercial sponsorship.
