Cinema For All is absolutely thrilled to announce the shortlist for this year’s Film Society of the Year Awards. Over the last year, we’ve witnessed countless ways that our members have sustained their sense of community. An independent jury has now reviewed all applications, and we’re pleased to announce the shortlist for this year’s awards.
But who will be the winners? Be sure to join us for the ceremony on Saturday 13 November as part of our annual Community Cinema Conference. 12-14 November, updated details here. It’s all online, accessible from anywhere in the country, and promises to be just as fun and valuable as ever, with additional celebrations and events in honour of our 75th anniversary.
