Great Britain reporting!

News, and it holds an annual competition to which entries come from all over the country, together with a number from the British Empire and foreign countries.
The Royal Photographic Society, the old-established body of still photographers, has its Kine Section. But this caters both to amateurs and professionals and consequently is rather outside a discussion on amateur cine organizations.
The Federation of Cinematograph Societies, formed in 1936 in association with the Royal Photographic Society, caters exclusively to amateur cine clubs. In common with the other bodies, it publishes a periodical for its members, holds competitions and provides a library of prize winning club films.
The latest arrival is the Scottish Association of Amateur Cinematographers, a body formed in 1948 with the object of catering to amateurs in Scotland. In conjunction with the Scottish Film Council, it arranges the annual Scottish Amateur Film Festival, a competition which attracts entries not only from Scotland but also from all over the British Isles.
PUBLICATIONS
Besides the material issued by the various bodies just mentioned, the professional publishers provide an increasing volume of books and pamphlets for the amateur filmer. We have now only one magazine. Amateur Cine World, catering exclusively to all cine fans.
NO DOUBLE for trouble, as the 9.5mm. unit of Crouch End A. C. S. shoots a fight sequence.
Other publications, such as the Amateur Photographer, carry articles of assistance to cinematographers but do not cater exclusively to them. In addition to these, your own Movie Makers and Hollywood's Home Movies are fairly widely read here, but of course they have to be specially ordered. Personally, it makes me green with jealousy to see the equipment on offer in Movie Makers, some of which we shall not see for years over here, if we see it at all.
INTERNATIONAL CONTACTS For many years the amateur cinematographers of Britain, while maintaining friendly relations with amateurs in the United States and Europe, did not as a body enter into any formal link-ups. Many individuals became members of the ACL. of which the Institute of Amateur Cinematographers has been an Honorary Member since about 1932. Beyond this, contacts seem to have been limited to individual and informal exchanges until 1938. At that time, the I.A.C. applied for membership in the Union Internationale du Cinema d'Amateur ( U.N.I.C.A. ) as representing Great Britain.
UNICA is a body consisting of one representative national organization from each country and at present includes representatives of most European countries, together with Australia. South Africa. Argentina. Brazil. Mexico, etc. Each year it holds a Congress and Competition in a different country. For 1951 this will be held in London (England) and Glasgow (Scotland), from August 11 to 19. I have been honored by appointment as its President for this year and sincerely trust that I shall have the pleasure of meeting some fellow amateurs from the United States at that Congress.
Finally. I should like to say that in spite of all the difficulties of the austere times through which we are now passing, amateur cinematography over here is a very live hobby. We look forward with confidence to the time when we are able to obtain the wonderful variety of apparatus already available to amateurs in America. I should also like to thank your editor for so kindly giving me the opportunity of writing this article. I hope that I shall at some time have the pleasure of meeting many of its readers — either here or in your country.
