I have a massive house. With a good set up in the living room.

EXCELLENT! Where do you live? How many people do you think you could get in for the screening?

UK SHINDIG UPDATE:

I have phoned a few venues around the Leeds and Bradford area.

So far the best i can find is the National Museum of Photography, Film & Television in Bradford. They have a fantastic conference room that can accommodate up to 80 people, theatre style. They have DVD capabilities, and a great balcony just in case people want a bit of fresh air.

If we were to get 50 people, the cost of the room would cost £15 per head (which i think it's quite reasonable) if we got 80 people then it would be around £9 per head.

They would preferably like to hire it out to us in February 200 because march is the Leeds/Bradford Film Festival. Plus it is very central to Bradfor town centre, so we could all go for a few bevvies afterwards :-).

On the other hand, I have been informed that they may be an issue with the copyrights from Fox regarding public viewing, so it looks like I am definetly going to have to double check the permission to screen it.

I wouldn't want ot get it all set up and then find out that we can't do it!

I shall keep you updated.

If anybody has any contact names or addresses for Fox Video UK, would oyu be so kind to get in contact with me?

Or any idea on copyright law ;-)?

Question for my friendly neighborhood british browncoats: I'm in London for a conference this week and have one whole day off on Wednesday. I want to go out and do something fun, but not too 'touristy'. Any suggestions?

Jayne, your mouth is talkin. Might want to look into that.

Just done some googling, it seems that unlike music there's no one organisation that licenses video for public broadcast. You'll have to contact Fox directly.

The British Video Association has this info:

I'd be definitely for a Leeds or Bradford meet, as I'm in Sheffield, not too far away.

Good luck!

Any suggestions? As long as the place has an LCD projector we should be ok, cos i could bring my laptop and play the DVDs from there

It's just an idea, but is there a university -- large or small--in Leeds? I know that here there are several universities or community colleges that have big rooms with the ability to show movies on DVD. Some do that very thing as fund-raising for specific departments.
You'd probably do best checking with the art/media/that type of department to find out what the process would be to see if you can use the space. It can't hurt to check it out.
