The Vintage Film Awards (VFA) are awards that recognize films released in previous decades with enduring popularity and continuing relevance in popular culture.[1][2][3]

History

[edit]

The Vintage Film Awards was founded in 2015 by journalist James Rogers. The event takes place in Brussels, Belgium.[4] Shortlisted films are chosen on account of their continued popularity, sales, and relevance in popular culture.[5] Each year, shortlisted films are chosen from those officially released from 20, 30, 40 and 50 years prior. Final nominees and winners are determined by public opinion surveys.[6][7]
