The UK Cinema Association was very saddened to learn today of the passing of former Association President Stan Fishman CBE. Stan was 96.

Following a career spanning almost 50 years in the industry, Stan continued to serve the UK cinema sector, being a founder member of the All Industry Marketing Committee (AIM), President of the then Cinema Exhibitors’ Association (now the UK Cinema Association), President of the British Cinema and Television Veterans, President of the Cinema and Television Benevolent Fund, and Chairman of the Film Complaints Panel.

In 1997 Stan was awarded a CBE for services to the film industry.

The Association sends its deepest condolences to Stan’s family and friends.
