IAC - The Film and Video Institute is the umbrella organisation in the UK for amateur / non-commercial moviemakers. It is non-profit making and a registered charity. It has around 300 affiliated clubs as well as a couple of thousand individual members – all interested in the great hobby of movie making for the sheer fun of it. The IAC is arranged in seven regions with many clubs as well as individual members in all parts of the country. These Regions and clubs usually have their own annual events, often including a movie competition and festival where non-commercial movies are shown to their best advantage. The IAC also organizes an International Movie Festival every year. This Festival weekend moves around the United Kingdom from Region to Region. The IAC is a member of UNICA, the UNESCO supported international organization devoted to our hobby. UNICA holds a Congress in a different country each year, built around the prestigious world amateur movie competition. Member Nations’ 70 minute programmes are assessed by an International jury of seven, who award bronze, silver and gold medals The IAC is able to offer contact and support for all non-commercial film makers.
