                        FILM SOCIETY HANDBOOK   

For many years ACOFS has made available a 117 page “Film Screening Handbook”, last printed in 2000.

Since then film projection technology has changed rapidly and distributors and film library information needs to be updated regularly.

The paper based “Film Screening Handbook” has now been replaced by a series of Chapters called "Film Society Handbook" on this, the ACOFS website and additional information is available from the state Federations. Relevant contacts, including relevant websites, are shown on the ACOFS Home page.
