Film Society of the Year Awards 2025

We're still on cloud nine from Saturday! Thank you to everyone who joined us in Sheffield to celebrate a century of community cinema at the 100 Years Gala. What an inspiring night - honouring the incredible history of the movement and looking to what's next. Here's to a hundred more!

Alongside the premiere of our new short documentary Rebels with Projectors, an in-conversation with filmmaker Mark Cousins, and more, we held the annual Film Society of the Year Awards. We'd like to wish a huge congratulations to this year's winners Film Society of the Year Awards!
