Here´s the draft programme:

We are having some problems clearing rights to screen certain titles hence the delay on letting you know the final programme. However, I know a lot of you are itching to book flights and know what is happening so this is what we hope to run with. You will be able to book delegates passes by phone from noon (UK time) Wednesday. Individual titles will be bookable next week.

Benefits of being a Widescreen delegate are:

Your own seat for the entire weekend in Pictureville Cinema Thursday to Monday
Free tickets for Cubby Broccoli Cinema or IMAX (if you can’t face another screening of How the West Was Won)
Reception for delegates in the Museum’s conference suite at 5pm on Friday.
Your delegate badge
Delegates bag with some goodies.

All for £60.

Call Deb Singleton (+44 1274 203364) or Ben Eagle (+44 1274 203308) to book your seat and we will get back to you for you money at the end of the week. Below are the details you will be required to give.

Will the 70mm films be shown correctly on the flat screen, or are there plans to show these on the deep curved screen for 3 strip Cinerama as it has been done before?
(No offense meant, I know some people like to see all formats projected on Cinerama type screen, but I'd like to know whether I have to expect distorted images before spending hundreds of €uros for a trip to Bradford.)
