Appendix A
The alternative programme subcommittee chair originally passed this e-mail
to us:
I would be glad of feedback from any board members who have an opinion on
this.
The licence last year, although it covered a long list of films, did not
cover many things we might want like Snow Cake.
If we are definitely showing films we either need a licence as before or to
look into whether individual films can be licenced in some other way (we do
tend to show the same things).
Otherwise maybe we decide people have the ability to watch on laptops so we
don't bother.
My memory is there are usually several people watching things like Snow
Cake even though it comes every year. But maybe others have different
opinions and memories.
