Festival: 16-18 Apr 2010

The timing and arrangements are similar each year.

The greatest amateur film festival in the British Isles is organised by the IAC.

There are no limits on length, topic or style. In the British tradition all entries are pre-judged and the festival is a celebratory showing of a selection of the best movies entered, together with a prize-giving ceremony. Every entry receives written comments from the judges and is graded.

Entry fees - up to 30 minutes 14 GBP, over 30 minutes 16 GBP for adults and clubs. Reduced rates for young people.

In 2010 the event will be held at Bedford. The rules are currently under revision, but for information here are the 2009 details:
