Welcome to the CFVM web site

CHICHESTER FILM & VIDEO MAKERS are a group of enthusiastic amateurs, whose aim is to encourage an interest in film and video making as a medium of information, education and entertainment, increasing the knowledge and technical ability of our members.  Being actively involved with local organisations in the community, we work with them to produce first class DVDs of local events.

At CFVM we have a full and varied programme of meetings, including illustrated talks, workshops and competitions. Prospective new members are welcome to 'look us over' for a couple of meetings with absolutely no obligation. We wont even mention the 'joining' word. For further information please email our secretary at  secretary@cfvm.org.uk

We welcome anybody who has an interest in the Art and Technology of video making. There is no requirement to own a camcorder or any other item of equipment. In addition to camerawork, editing etc. there is a whole range of skills that go into the making of a video.

On offer is a warm welcome to anyone, from beginner to advanced level, who want to improve their film and video making skills for their own pleasure or to enter club and external competitions at regional, national or even international level.

The Club  meets  fortnightly  on  Wednesday  evenings from 7-15 at St Pancras Church Hall which is about halfway down St Pancras at the junction with Tozer Way.

Our members enjoy an active social calendar, see  Our Programme and a 'Lunch Club' is held on the first Friday of each month at midday in a local pub, when the talk is generally about film & video making.

CFVM is affiliated to the Institute of Amateur Cinematographers,

now known as The Film & Video Institute, a National body formed in 1932 to further the cause of the amateur cine movement.

The Institute provides many useful services, including membership insurance and music copyright licences, and has the largest amateur film and video library in the world.
