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.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“You treat world history as a mathematician does mathematics, in which nothing but laws and formulas exist, no reality, no good and evil, no time, no yesterday, no tomorrow, nothing but an eternal, shallow, mathematical present.”
—Hermann Hesse (1877–1962)
“There is a history in all men’s lives,
Figuring the natures of the times deceased,
The which observed, a man may prophesy,
With a near aim, of the main chance of things
As yet not come to life.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
