Cambridge Junction is excited to announce the Total Arts Film Festival, Big Trouble Little Pictures is back for 2025. 

Taking place on 24  & 25 June the event will be a joyful celebration of powerful short films and music videos by young artists and filmmakers from communities in and around Cambridge. Audiences should expect an evening of fun, laughter, and storytelling.
