Testimonials
Annual Survey 2009/10
- “The BFFS Development and Office staff were brilliant when we were starting up by supplying support, advice, training and without them we might have blundered.”
- “Community Cinema Sourcebook is excellent a real life-line.”
- “Website: excellent content, easy to navigate. This and the e-newsletter keep us linked in to what other similar, and dissimilar, film societies are up to, and also what may effect our organisation.”
- “We use BFFS as our primary source of information and advice for any issues or questions arising in our film society.”
- “The National Conference has now become established as a must-attend event; as least one of our members attends each year. BFFS staff are always helpful, knowledgeable and the service provided is excellent, personal and reliable. You understand how we operate and what we need! Thank you!”
- “We are very glad that the BFFS is there for support and advice when needed. It would be very difficult for us to run a viable film society without things like the viewing sessions and the booking scheme.”
National Conference of Community Cinemas 2010
- "Nice atmosphere, plenty of time to chat, very well organised and friendly"
- "The conference was a complete success, well-managed and presented, everything ran very smoothly."
- "The film education theme was excellent. I went there not believing I knew anything about film education, and came away realising I did. And learnt new stuff too."
BFFS Booking Scheme
- "The booking scheme has widened the choice of films and made them easier- and cheaper- to hire on DVD. It's a great resource and is worth our membership alone. A very reliable service and easy-to- access selection of unusual titles."
- "The BFFS Scheme offers an amazing collection of films- many of which have received minimal or even no critical attention or art house release. Many of the very best film in our recent programme such as Klass (Estonia), Le Couperet (Costa Gravas), and Luna Papa (Tajikstan) were selected from the BFFS list."
