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.
