Welcome to OVFM

Our Club started in the days of cine-film, 1958, but we have progressed a long way since then with members keeping up to date with the latest filming, editing and projection technologies. Now we have over 70 members, aged 16 to 86, all are welcome either to learn or to pass on their knowledge to others, or most importantly to make and show us their films

Meetings are held from 8 - 10pm on alternate Tuesdays at the Barnard Room, St. Augustine's Church, Southborough Lane, Petts Wood BR2 8AT

You can attend for a couple of 'free' visits and then we hope you will want to join.

For contact information, please click the JOIN US button on this page and CALENDAR will tell you what is happening throughout the year. MEMBERS is the protected section for members only.

Social Events As well as Club evenings, we also hold social events such as a BBQ, Ramble and Annual Dinner. All members can contribute to our Newsreel of interesting events in the Bromley Borough which is shown at our Spring Show in a larger venue to over 100 friends and family.

Club films are made by groups including experts and "novices", we run in-house competitions but also encourage members to make Project films which are not competitive.

We are affiliated to the IAC, the film and video institute - www.theiac.org.uk, and enjoy meeting fellow enthusiasts at inter-club, regional and international film festivals.

OVFM often does well at the Kent Film Festival www.kentfilmfestival.com

We have Tutorial Evenings in the winter and have some Practical Evenings but more knowledge is probably passed around between members. So many different cameras and editing equipment are used that someone will have ideas about any problems that you need to be solved.

As we say, it is the FILM MAKER and not the equipment that makes a good film!!

So, whether you learned about OVFM from friends, the 'Net or local newspapers and magazines, please click the JOIN US button for more information.
