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]
The 1st Vintage Film Awards were presented in a ceremony held on May 11, 2016 at the Brussels Press Club. Awards were given to the best films and performances from 1995, 1985, 1975, and 1965.
