Record appreciation for 2006-7 films
We received our best-ever audience reaction figures across the 2006-2007 season of films. Using a method of analysis common amongst film societies we ask our audience to say whether they consider the film to be Excellent, Good, Fair, Poor or Awful. These were last season’s results:

Topsham Film Society Film Votes 2007-8
The TFS audience reaction system is one used by all similar clubs in the British Federation of Film Societies. The votes in each category (Excellent, Good, Fair, Poor and Awful) are multiplied and the resulting score then divided by the number of votes cast, to end up with a percentage. 'Excellent' votes are multiplied by 100, 'Good' by 75, 'Fair' by 50, 'Poor' by 25 and 'Awful' by 0. At its simplest the resulting percentage scores show which films were liked better than others. But sometimes a movie that 'divides' an audience can be worthwhile too - controversy is not always a bad thing.
