Leonie Hoult (Licensing Officer) introduced report ES/2033 regarding the classification of 16 short films due to be shown at the Marina Theatre, Lowestoft Railway Station Parcel Office and Sam's Coffee House, Lowestoft between 1 to 4 October 2024 as part of the Sunrise Film Festival.

Members confirmed that they had viewed the short films prior to the meeting.
Having applied the guidelines of the BBFC it was
RESOLVED
