THE BRING & BUY. "Do you have the Walton 400ft of the wedding of Charles and Diana?"

The Ealing Town Hall - an ideal destination for a collection of film collectors

We can't believe the reaction we have had to the 46th BFCC. So many people have let us know how much they enjoyed this event. With a film tribute to Gregory Peck, Technicolor CinemaScope 35mm, a technical Cinerama talk from historian Grant Lobban complete with example trailer from "How The West Was Won", some amazing new Super 8 releases from Derann and Classic, an 'outstanding' 3D show, a VistaVision talk from Ken Locke complete with examples released on 16mm and 35mm plus the usual two dealers halls seemed to provide something for everybody. Certainly all the shows were very well attended and those dealers we have spoken to reported a good day's trading. The new releases from Derann and Classic appear to have had the desired result of fuelling interest in the hobby as attendance to the BFCC's is still very good.

Although much smaller than the Victoria Hall used in the May events the Queens Hall, has the major advantage of making the 24 foot BFCC screen even more impactive. This is due to it virtually going wall to wall at the far end of the room. The front row of seats has to be pretty close otherwise it is not possible to seat all those wishing to see the shows (even then it is often very tight).
