Film Society of the Year Awards 2009

The British Federation of Film Societies have added their pictures of the awards evening on 19 September in Sheffield on to flickr. It took place at the rather gorgeous Millennium Galleries, which are planted with some very special trees, including a Norfolk Island pine, and some fantastic tree ferns. This is just as everyone started to arrive:
