Platform
Spoken Word group…
Cumberland is booked, we want to put gigs on from our school. You don’t need to let them be part of the programming group, but could say yes or no – e.g yes of course because this is giving you an opportunity or.
Scenario of wanting to do something soon between programming meeting.
e.g leeting homophobic church in jesmond private hire – you need to send email around to ask for any objections. Put emergency programming decisions into Monday night meeting.
A promoter who wants to be part of cinema but is not yet and wants to put a gig on (and would propose it in written format to programming group).
A promoter who is here regularly
Someone who just wants to come and do a one off gig, and might turn up just before the meeting.

Thinking It may be better to spread the screenings to cover a evening a week for two-three
weeks.
Debs, do you fancy linking this with your idea of a month concentrating on female directors?
Also one more thing; I would like to carry on with the pre screening workshops such as The
Owl Project last year. But this needs more thought, planning and funding.
Idea:
A screening of the short film by German director Jurgen Bottcher (about women working in a light bulb factor entitled STARS, followed by Cassavetes feature SHADOWS. I think it weould be a really nice opening event.
Idea: A screening dedicated to Haltwhistle Film project with a q+a afterwards - them selecting their favorite films over the last however many years and talking about their attitudes towards working with young people.
