35th Anniversary Screening - Thelma & Louise

Join Cambridge Film Festival for a special anniversary screening of Ridley Scott’s Thelma & Louise, marking 35 years to the week since the film premiered at the 15th Cambridge Film Festival in 1991.

Directed by Ridley Scott and written by Callie Khouri, this exhilarating road movie stars Susan Sarandon and Geena Davis as Louise and Thelma, two friends whose weekend escape becomes a defiant journey across the American South. What begins as a break from everyday life turns into one of cinema’s most unforgettable stories of friendship, freedom and rebellion.

Bold, funny, thrilling and deeply moving, Thelma & Louise remains a landmark of 1990s cinema: a film that challenged expectations, sparked conversation, and still feels urgent on the big screen. Featuring Harvey Keitel, Michael Madsen and Brad Pitt in an early breakout role, it went on to receive multiple Academy Award nominations, with Callie Khouri winning the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay.

Join us as we bring this iconic film back to Cambridge, celebrating both its enduring power and its place in Cambridge Film Festival history.
