That is why I asked the question about a database, made available to filmmakers.

Trouble is although the curator does do a lot of exhibitions and runs workshops for school projects, there is now no local paper to advertise the events in, even having leaflets printed doesn't seem to have any real effect, when was the last time any one saw a leaflet for the Haworth, or a notice in the fish and chip wrapper laughingly known as the Accrington Observer.

Retlaw.
