16:00
H2.45, Humanities
Present: Phil Beckett (Chief Projectionist; items 3-6), Jonatan Benarroch (Films Officer), Reece Goodall (Vice-President; minutes), Richard Kirk (Marketing Officer), Lorraine Li (President; chair), Anjana Radhakrishnan (Chief Duty Manager), Emma Smith (Publicity Officer), Joel Speed (IT Officer), Allie Wyant (Chief Editor)

1. Welcome and Apologies
Apologies were received from Giles Hutchings (Treasurer).
2. Outdoor Screening
We are still in the process of sorting out a venue – Reece and Lorraine are trying to sort out a venue on campus, and Purchas and Alex Pointon have been talking to the BID in Leamington. If the event was to be held in Leamington, it was suggested we may want to provide coaches to help bring on-campus people back – Joel mentioned that he was looking at this. Jonatan will sort out a list of potential films, and Lorraine will send an email to the exec asking them to begin sorting out their respective parts of the screening.
3. Sponsorship
The matter is ongoing – Lorraine will keep the exec updated.
4. Socs Awards
Richard has made a start on the applications, and will possibly talk to Oliver Brown if there are any issues.
5. Time and date of next meeting
A time and date is to be confirmed on an exec thread.
6. AOB
i) Reece informed everyone that there would be a Filmsoc show at WSAF, and asked for permission to promote it on the crew page – this was deemed fine.
ii) Richard wanted to gauge interest in potentially collaborating with LeagueSoc, screening big events and livestreaming, and possibly becoming an e-sports arena later down the line. Reception was positive – it will be looked into.
iii) Richard also mentioned that he was working on getting Filmsoc publicity onto the chaplaincy screens, and asked everyone to keep an eye on them.
iv) Jonatan asked whether, for the next all AllNighter, the exec wished to retain the format of a mix of old and new unconnected films. It was suggested that a decision couldn’t be made until potential films for the event were known.
v) The question of when to hold a programming meeting this term was raised – it is provisionally set for week 3.
vi) Lorraine asked whether she and some friends could sell sweets on the door on this weekend’s shows in order to raise money for charity – there was no problem with this.
vii) Allie reminded everyone that the Filmsoc Book Club would be held this Friday, and invited everyone along.
viii) Purchas asked exec thoughts on the forums, and it was generally agreed that they were good but under-utilised. It was suggested that they could potential replace internal mailing lists, get the crew more involved and enable future execs to look back at past discussions more easily.
ix) Reece suggested a live film event for next term, but it was thought that it would function better as a crew social.
Meeting closed at 16:50.
