In anticipation of our first screening of 2023, we here at BUFS thought it might be fun to take a look back at 2022, especially with Awards Season upon us already.
Here are our BUFS executive committee Top Ten lists for 2022.
Everything is in alphabetical order: our names and the titles we selected.
The three posters were chosen because these were the three films that showed up on more than one of our lists.
