CFF: 20,000 Species of Bees

Estibaliz Urresola Solaguren’s delicate debut film is a tender, heartfelt drama that follows an eight-year-old trans girl (played by Sofía Otero, winner of the Silver Bear for Best Leading Performance at 2022’s Berlin Film Festival) during an indelible summer holiday of self-discovery. 20,000 Species of Bees offers a child’s eye view of growing up, delving into its lead’s struggles with humanity and grace.

The Cambridge Film Festival is presented by the Cambridge Film Trust, a registered charity with a mission to foster film culture and education for the benefit of the public, in Cambridge, the Eastern region, and throughout the UK.
