| Back for its 2nd year – South Downs Film Makers 2024 Community Filmmaking Competition – is HERE |
We are an friendly enthusiastic film-making club, making Drama, Documentary and Comedy films for amateur film competitions and the community generally.
We meet at Ferring Village Hall throughout the year, usually on the third Wednesday of the month. Today, we have around 25 members who meet at this venue to participate in an interesting programme of activities for our members. (See the Events Calendar for programme details).
The club’s aims are:
To encourage interest in film making as a hobby (Drama, Documentary & Comedy)
To help increase the knowledge and technical ability of our members
To have fun and build friendships
Equipment
The club is fortunate in owning two semi-professional Panasonic cameras and tripods, two pairs of Sennheiser EW112P-G4-GB radio mics, which are available for use in club productions. We also have a range of other equipment – including portable LED panel lights, microphones, royalty-free music, all of which are available for members’ use, free of charge.
Competitions
Several competitions are held throughout the year to encourage film making amongst our members. Some competitions are internal and others external where club films are entered into competition against those of other clubs, both regionally, nationally and even internationally.
External Film-shows
The club regularly provides film-shows to local groups in the community e.g. WI, church and social groups etc.
