To consider the report of the Assistant Chief Executive (Corporate Governance) on an application for the certification of films to be shown at the “11^th Leeds Young People’s Film Festival” at Hyde Park Picture House, 71-73 Brundell Road, Leeds, LS6 1JD.

(Report attached)

The Sub-Committee considered an application for the certification of films to be shown at  “11^th Young People’s Film Festival” Hyde Park Picture House, 71-73 Brundell Road, Leeds, LS6 1JD. Members were in receipt of the guidance issued by the BBFC in respect of the certification of films and details of the films and the proposed certification of each film which had been suggested by the applicant. Members addressed each film individually and obtained clarification from the applicant regarding a number of points which included further details of the context of language and violence in certain films. The Sub-Committee was advised that the film “Adam’s Wall” had been withdrawn from the Festival’s programme and would therefore not require certification. Following the careful consideration of each film the Sub-Committee was satisfied that the proposed certification of the films were in line with the BBFC guidance, were an appropriate certification for each film and resolved to certify the films as proposed by the applicant.
