That's what I've been trying to do all along. Here are my questions though:

A) Is it feasible to think that we can pull any traffic away from those other (film) sites?

B) If so, is yet another forum (YAF) the right way to do it?

I think the answer to A is yes, there is always the possibility of getting people that are looking for info to stick with this site or to pull away people from other sites that they're unsatisfied by for whatever reason. However when it comes to B, I just don't think that YAF has much draw or long-lasting value, for the reasons I already outlined.

So, to sum it up, I'm not anti-film, I just think the desire to segregate into YAF goes against what you are trying to achieve, which is making film shooters feel included and draw new members.
