Hi Michael
I feel sure will will have a fair turnout. It is good to do the publ;icity that you have now sent out,which I will pass on to as many people as possible.
You did not let me know who the invoice for Saturday and Sunday should be made out to. It will come from our company Good Vibes Records & Music Ltd.
Normally when I work for David it is made out to him for the BFI.

-- Savannah View director Michael La Rose curates a weekend of Caribbean Carnival on film as part
of the BFI African Odysseys Programme. The second year of the groundbreaking film
screening event explores the art, history and struggle for the Caribbean
Carnival in Britain.
The films to be shown include the documentary “Looking
For Claudia Jones” in
celebration of the 50th anniversary
of the death of this important cultural and political activist. Claudia Jones’ courageous
work is explored including her contribution to establishing the Caribbean
Carnival in Britain.
There are also the rare short films “Mas in the Ghetto; Notting Hill Carnival
1973” and “Interview with Leslie Palmer” which documents the establishment
of the Notting Hill Carnival as we know it today.
The BBC’s “Summer
76 Carnival” records the mas’, issues,
individuals and build up to the explosive Carnival which propelled the Notting
Hill Carnival to global notoriety.
Finally there is the beautifully musical 1991 film by Dalton Narine
“Panorama; Festival of the Pans part1“
which explains the steelband art and the unique musical competition at the heart
of the Trinidad Carnival.
The films will be followed by interactive panel discussions
with panellists that include Alex
Pascal, Nia Reynolds, Donald Hinds, Anthony Perry, Dalton Narine, Leslie Palmer
and Corinne Skinner –Carter and others.
Screenings start at 11am until 5pm with
a lunch intermission. A fantastic opportunity to understand the hidden history
and art of the Caribbean Carnival in Britain
