THE 67th BRITISH FILM COLLECTORS CONVENTION Saturday, 30th May 2026 - The 50th Anniversary of the BFCC - to be held at THE BARN THEATRE, OXTED
The 2026 British Film Collectors Convention is to be held as a stylish new venue - The Barn Theatre, Oxted, which is just outside of London, south of Croydon but importantly, just outside of all the London road taxing areas. The venue has its own substantial car parking with overflow on the Saturday into the school car park immediately next door. Oxted town centre is only a few minutes walk away and also has a mainline train station connecting to Croydon. Junction 6 of the M25 is just a few miles away.
We plan to have all the usual attractions and as we type this, the dealer tables are selling out. The 24 foot wide BFCC CinemaScope screen is going to be a tight fit but we're confident we can have it in place for maximum impact from the Super 8, 35mm and 4K video projection shows. Film is fashionable once again now and this has helped to resurrect these conventions after the pandemic. Anyone interested in film and 4K home video projection will get the chance to see both projected onto that huge screen to enable close scrutiny and a good comparison to try to work out the little nuances that make both such a different viewing experience.
Admission will be just £10.
