The 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.
Strawberry Shorts is a new film festival which has grown out of the annual film screenings held as part of Strawberry Fair, one of Europe's largest free festivals, which enjoys an estimated 80,000 visitors each year.
The film festival, in Cambridge, is open to the public and since 2004 it has screened more than 150 independent short films every year; allowing young people in the Cambridge community to showcase their talent by making short films of videos.
Like Strawberry Fair itself, it is free and totally independent from any council run events. The festival is held on Midsummer Common on the first Saturday in June.

Links to my Interaction
I personally thought this showed explicit links to my Interaction project, mainly because it has clear links with the community. The new shorts festival allows young people from the Cambridge community to showcase their talents in making films or videos.
In this way, my interaction project clearly links because that too allowed young people from the community such as myself, to showcase video and filming talents by creating a promotional video.
Both these projects are very clearly community run and although the Strawberry fair has no budget because it is commercially run, both show clear links to community work and interactions with partners to create projects in the media industry.
