History
Film Unit joined the BFFS in 1950, although it is likely that the Film Unit society was formed before this, and it is believed too that it pre-dates the BFFS. Film Unit also holds the copyright of a title shot in 1960, held in the University's archives. There is also a title shot in 1965 by "SUSU Film Society/Film Unit".
Film Unit used to show films in the Graves Building, part of the Union building. In 1996, a new auditorium was opened, and became the new home of Film Unit; it is also used as a lecture theatre.
Over the past, the members have been formed primarily from members of USIT, which folded in 2003.
