Monday, November 28th, 2011

After each film we get you to rate the film, and here are the collated scores for the season. If you have any other feedback about any of the films, you can post them here too.

It is really useful for us to get your feedback since it gives us a great sense of how good our programming is, and helps us plan for next season.

How do we convert your rating into a score? You can read the simple outline of how it works on the BFFS site [pdf].

Suggest a film for 2012-13

What do you think we should screen next season? Every year we’re keen to get your input into our programming, and would like your input.

We’re looking for excellent, non-mainstream films that could attract a hundred people, so let us know your ideas and why you think it would be a good choice. Our programme is a mix of recent and classic films from all over the world, including some little-known films; we’re also on the look-out for great shorts as well, or films with some sort of local interest. As a rule, we don’t tend to show films that have been screened locally in the recent past, or which have have been on TV recently, though that’s not a hard and fast rule.

You may also like to look at the list of films that were suggested last year or for the 2009-10 season. We do keep reviewing the lists of previously-suggested films too; just because we haven’t shown them yet doesn’t mean we never will!
