Posted Anywhere duction, entitled " B." The story and setnario of this film have been specially written for the society by Mr. G. W. Eves and calls for a large amount of work in rural surroundings, which will enable the society to organise week-end outings on location during the summer months. The photography is in the hands of Mr. B. Ludin, whose recently completed " Fur Film," running to 1,500 feet of O^-mm., was shown at the Ideal Home Exhibition at Olympia with such success that within a short time he had received requests for copies from such far distant places as Prague and New York. Prospective members may be interested to know something of the exceptional studio facilities at our disposal. St. Anne's Hall not only provides the society with a floor space of about 50 by 30 feet, but also includes a stage 16 feet deep, two dressing rooms and ample storage space for props. This has frequently enabled us to erect two sets at once and to carry out shooting on both during the course of the evening. On projection nights we can now obtain a throw of nearly 70 feet from a recess above the hall entrance to a 10 feet silver screen set at the back of the stage. Visitors may by arrangement have their own films projected at the society's meetings and thus see them to far greater advantage than they normally would in their homes. The society particularly welcomes any opportunity of projecting amateur films and is pleased to offer its own films in exchange if desired. For further particulars please write to the hon. secretary at the above address. FANFOLD AMATEUR CINE CLUB. Hon. Secretary, G. A. V. Jones, 8 Tanswell Street, S.E.I. This club held its inaugural meeting on July 10, when temporary officers were elected. Two stories are to be filmed — a short one first and a more ambitious one later. We are fortunate in having qixite a lot of first-class apparatus and very talented technicians. As there is still room for more members, especially ladies, anyone interested should communicate with the hon. secretary at the above address, or turn up at 58 Hanover Buildings, Thomas Street, W.l, on Monday evenings after 8 p.m. We take pleasure in thanking Home Movies and Home Talkies for its assistance, without which we do not think the club would have come into existence. HAMPSHIRE HOUSE CINE GROUP. Hon. Secretary, ,1. Radford, 3(» Avonmore Gardens, West Kensington, W.14. This group is now widening its scope by including miniature camera work in its programme, there being already three Leica workers in the group. This type of camera is of real use to the cameraman and lectures are being arranged for the winter programme on the technique of miniature camerawork. Two of our " still " men are enthusiastic Leica workers and would like to visit other London clubs while shooting in order to obtain some souvenir " stills." One of our members. Miss G. Gollop, is at present engaged on a propaganda film dealing with the curse of drink. This film is being shot mostly on p.s.p. and promises to be of excellent quality. INDEPENDENT FILM STUDIOS (AMATEUR). Hon. Secretary, E. C. Jordan, 35 Park Grove, Prince's Avenue, Hull. Our cameraman made a scoop at the Isle of Man during the T.T. race week and got some interesting panorama scenes of the island as well as vivid and dramatic pictures of J. H. Pringle's terrible crash. Work has now commenced on the production of a documentary film dealing with the life and work of William W'ilberforce. The .scenario by S. Peysner and E. (J. Jordan allows for the widest use to be made of modern camera technique to get impressionist pictures of early slave days. In the workshop one of our new projectors is nearing completion and embodies .some novel refinements not usually associated with 16-mm. projection, details of which will be given at a later date. LINCOLN AMATEUR FILM SOCIETY, Hon. Treasurer. Frank (lariili, 84, Ruskin Avenue, Lincoln. This society was formed by a number of cine enthusiasts in Lincoln in November, 1932, when the first meeting was held. Fortnightly since then, up to May, 1933, films were projected on both 9^-mm. and 16-mm. projectors, many of these being films produced by other clubs, with occasional professionally made films j and as a result the members gained many valuable hints. In June, 1933, they decided to make a film of their own and a suitable scenario was written by the chairman, Mr. B. W. Morton, who is also directing the film, entitled " Circumstantial Evidence." Shooting was started in June in the local ironstone quarries and persons privileged to see the " rushes " agree that considering the limited apparatus available the results are reaUy excellent, especially a fade-out device invented and made by Mr. B. W. Morton, which operates on the Pathe Motocair.era B. used for' shooting. Anyone in Lincoln and district aspiring to film fame may obtain particulars from the hon. treasurer at the abov^e address. LONDON AMATEUR FILM CLUB. Hon. Secretary, Miss :\1. ,la.s])cr. 42 Fentiman Road, S.W.8. Shdotmg on " Panshine Pansy " is now completed, after spending two days on location chasing raindrops off the lens ! The first day's shooting was in London and the second at Amersham. This film .should be ready for showing during the winter season. Our short film, " Concussion," is well under way. One day 100 feet of 16-mm. film were expended on test shots and working out camera angles ; and actual .shooting has begun. The locations— all exteriors— are in and about Latimer, in Bucks. It is hoped that this film will also be ready for the winter; meanwhile we are still looking out for new scenarios. Our chairman, A. J. Bromley, has started a kind of scrap film, " Who's Who in the L.A.F.C," which was shown to us recently. It is quite amusing and has many pieces of film collected from other productions, etc. It also will be useful as a " casting film," and we hope to add to it later and so have a c«mplete film from which we can find out who is suitable for various parts in future productions. METEOR FILM PRODUCING SOCIETY. Hon. Secretary, Stanley L. Russell, 14 Kelvin Drive. Glasgow, N.W. ; Studio, 234 Sauchiehall Street, Glasgow. The long spell of fine weather has given a fillip to the filming activities of the three production units of the society and the major part of the outdoor action has been completed in each case. The formation of a 9|-mm. section has been suggested and anyone interested is invited to communicate by letter with I. S. Ross at the studio. The picnic outing has been fixed for Sunday, September 10, and will take the form of a motor-boat trip to an unknown island on a well-known Scottish loch. Members will be circularised with details shortly ; meantime, they should note the date and keep it free. Additional lighting equipment has been installed in the studio in preparation for the coming season. The winter syllabus is already under consideration, and a thoroughly interesting programme may be anticipated. The Society, by special request, filmed a
