BFFS to relocate to Sheffield

The British Federation of Film Societies, BFFS, announced today that from September 4 its headquarters will be relocated to The Workstation, Sheffield, South Yorkshire.
Chairman David Miller commented: “We are thrilled to be moving our offices to Sheffield. After several years based in Wales, BFFS is developing into a key cultural and community-based organisation and we feel this is the right time to expand our activities with the facilities The Workstation offers. The move will not only allow us to more effectively serve Film Society members across the UK but will put us at the heart of the country.“
The move is planned to develop and enhance effective partnership opportunities and raise the profile of community exhibition across the UK, and it is seen as a great opportunity for BFFS to add another dimension to Sheffield's already thriving cultural profile.
Speaking from the Regional Screen Agency Screen Yorkshire, Cultural Sector Development Manager, Jay Arnold added: “Screen Yorkshire is delighted that the BFFS will be located in the region. Yorkshire has a proud tradition of Film Societies and a growing number of non-theatrical exhibition models offering film provision across urban and rural areas - having the BFFS here will strengthen and develop this work."
The full address for all communications will be: BFFS, Unit 315, The Workstation, 15 Paternoster Row, Sheffield S1 2BX.
BFFS is funded by the UK Film Council and is the national support and development agency for the film society and community cinema sector.
