Brown bag lunch-hour discussion
In 2011, we introduced this FEATURE.
The idea is to lead a discussion on a topic of interest during a lunch break in the festival. There will be a speaker who will talk about the subject with perhaps a handout and then open it up to questions and comments from the participants. We hope to have room for up to 70 people.
Coffee is provided but patrons are expected to provide their own lunch - probably by by bringing it hence the "brown bag".
List of discussions so far:
| Date | Topic | Discussion leader | Handout/Download |
| Saturday, October 29th, 2011 | 1930 Motion Picture Production Code (The Hays Office Code) |
Cathie Houston of Universal Pictures, Canada | Discussion on the Hollywood Production Code - 1921 to 1960's |
It is currently planned to have a discussion of the Oscars at the 2012 festival .
