The Scottish Association of Moviemakers (SAM) is the umbrella
organisation for clubs and film-makers in Scotland. From October to May we
run monthly meetings with guest presenters or judges for SAM competitions.
There is also a flourishing annual work-shop weekend and a SAM Christmas
Social. 'SAM News' is published every second month. SAM is an enthusiastic supporter of the IAC to which we are
affiliated - as are a number of Scottish clubs.
Many of our members are also
individual IAC members.
We are active in supporting BIAFF and also other IAC activities, for example
through the 'Scottish Scene' page in FVM.
Preparations for SAM to host the IAC's AGM in 2011 are already taking shape.
