Subject: RE: The media - Is it biased to Folk?
I'm now aware of the original thread re this movie,
and that there is some kind of positive practical resolution..



but..

Richard,

licences !!!!????

what !!!?????


.. that was way back in the idyllic days when the Local Authority Art Centre
was happily and effectively run by old hippies and very enthusiastic young punk volunteers..

We just had a tatty BFI catalogue and picked whatever we wanted
from the cheapest crappest films available for hire.

Luckily, they were mostly the old cult rubbish Roger Corman exploitation shockers
we most wanted to get a chance to see on a local screen anyway..

..never filled in or signed a single document as far as i can remember.


..obviously times are now a lot meaner and harsher
and far more beurocratic in the 'modern' 21'st Community Art sector..



Though, never the less, the low cost hi quality digital technology does now exist for any low key unofficial
free of charge & profit guerilla screenings
for any otherwise difficult to access esoteric media productions.....
