Event Details

In partnership with Sheffield Hallam University, BFFS invites you to attend the first national Student Cinema Conference for organisers of university film societies and student cinemas

Uniquely in the history of BFFS events, the conference will be run entirely by a team of students from Sheffield Hallam’s film department. The event will take place on Saturday 21st April 2012 in The Void, within Sheffield Hallam University and will combine workshops and training sessions; talks and lectures from guest speakers and a selection of specially programmed film screenings

The event will be a fantastic opportunity for both those from well established film societies, as well as students from universities and colleges that are considering setting up a film society, but are unsure of how to start.
