The Licensing Sub Committee considered the report of the Head of Licensing and Registration on an application for the certification of films proposed to be shown during the Leeds International Film Festival. The films, listed in Appendix A of the submitted report, had a recommended category in line with the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC). Members were also in receipt of a Leeds International Film Festival publicity booklet.

The Sub Committee heard from Mr Christopher Fell, Festival Director and Mr Alex King, Programme Manager, regarding the proposed categorisations for those films that did not have classifications from BBFC.

The Licensing Sub Committee considered the proposed classifications for the films listed on Appendix A of the report to be appropriate.

RESOLVED – That the films outlined on Appendix A of the report and proposed to be shown at the Leeds International Film Festival be certified in accordance with the suggested classifications.
