Congratulations To Bradford Playhouse And Film Theatre

EDM number 670 in 1990-91, proposed by Bob Cryer on 26/03/1991.

That this House congratulates the Bradford Playhouse and Film Theatre on providing cinema programmes of great merit and distinction for more than fifty years; notes that the two screens give a wide choice to the discriminating film-goer, and therefore views with alarm the proposal by the British Film Institute to withdraw funding and transfer support to a single screen library cinema not yet completed and controlled by the Photographic Museum; rejects this example of cultural imperialism created by a conspiratorial arrangement between the British Film Institute and the trustees of the Museum of Film Photography and Television; and calls on the British Film Institute to retain support for an independent Bradford body which has an excellent record of artistic screen endeavour and which is owned, controlled and cherished by people of Bradford.

This motion has been signed by a total of 30 MPs.
