is dedicated to the appreciation and production of non-professional films and videos. In other words it is an amateur Video making Club. It was founded in 1930 and is one of the longest established clubs in the UK. Over the years FCS has become known for its success and diverse activities in the whole area of amateur film-making. In 2005 FCS celebrated its 75th anniversary with a special public show-- |
FCS holds several competitions per year. The Annual Competition in March has prizes for a range of skills. There is the Travellers’ Tales Competition in June, a Still Photo’s Competition in January and we sometimes also run a short film contest. The club also enters various local and national competitions. The latest Annual competition was held on Friday 17th March 2007 . It was a very competitve evening and first place was taken by Vincent Tempest who defeated many experienced FCS members.See the Full results here and pictues of the prize winners |
