35MM, 4K & SUPER 8 IN ONE SHOW: THE BRITISH FILM COLLECTORS CONVENTION 2023

35mm and 4K interspersed between 35mm reel changes at the British Film Collectors Convention complemented each other surprisingly well. Both looked exceptional on the convention's big 'Scope screen upon which we filled about 20 feet wide rather than the full 24 feet owing to the limitations of the stage area of the Chorleywood War Memorial Hall. 'Scope Super 8 was taken to the full 24 feet however but light ingress into the hall caused us some problems following some modifications since our visit to check its suitability last summer. If we use the hall again we'll have to deal with these.

This video serves as a summary of what took place at the 2023 BFCC and will hopefully entice a few new faces to come along if we do the same again in 2024 and beyond. A lot of time, preparation and work goes into putting on a day like this and it is only worthwhile if there is enough support. This one was a great team effort though and was crowd funded by 13 fellow movie enthusiasts who made the whole thing possible. The support of just about every remaining film dealer in the UK was another important factor.

Christopher John Ball came along to the BFCC and shot this video which is well worth a watch. Showed so much of what I missed myself:    • 66th British Film Collectors Conventi...
