The report of the Head of Elections. Licensing and Registration set out details of an application for the certification of films to be shown at the Leeds International Film Festival.

 

It was reported that the application was made as films that had not been previously certified by the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) required certification before showing.  A list of the films to be shown was detailed in an appendix to the report with a brief synopsis and the proposed certification.

 

The Sub-Committee was informed that the majority of the films had previously not been released in the UK.  A conservative approach had been taking to the proposed classifications and had been done in line with BBFC guidelines.  The film festival was aimed towards adults and would be held at locations across the city.

 

RESOLVED - That the Licensing Sub Committee considered the certification of the films as attached at appendix A of the submitted report. The Members were of the view that the films be categorised as recommended.
