[IMC-bristol] March 22nd film details

[ian]

hello

Below are the details for the March 22nd film night @ da cube.

Unfortunately Toms film fell through yesterday as Jani Roberts couldn't lay 
her hands on a high quality screening copy - hopefully we can programme 
that in on a later date.

I think its quite a strong programme all in all.  I have quite a lot of 
films on the back burner now - so we could even expand to twice a month if 
I can get some reliable help.

On a different tip I'm doing an outreach talk up at Bath Uni next 
Wednesday.  Anyone fancy helping?


best
ian
