The British Film Collectors Convention has risen like the phoenix after more than six years without an event. Keith Wilton was top man as usual and with many others from the team that has brought you these fabulous film collecting events since 1976. Images of the 66th BFCC within these pages were taken by Ryan Driscoll (thank you Ryan!), Mark Williams, John Clancy, Ernie Marsh and Stuart Hillliker.
(Above) Ryan Driscoll captured the quality of Simon Nicholls 35mm presentations with this shot of the trailer for 'Evil Under The Sun'.
Video of the 66th BFCC can be seen above. Shot by John Clancy.
Simon and Holly Nicholls (BFCC organizers) supplied every aspect of the 35mm shows including their Portacine portable projector.
