of an international congress of Catholic members of the cinema industry. At the request of the Holy Father it will not be restricted to Catholics, but is open to any well-intentioned person who regards his part in the film world as in some sense a vocation.
An interesting programme is being arranged and it is hoped that the Holy Father will make a special pronouncement on the cinema.
The Congress-Pilgrimage is being arranged by O.C.I.C., but each national film centre is asked to organise a delegation from its own country. We hope that members of the industry, from whatever department, will consider the possibility of joining us so as to provide a really representative British delegation. All details in the first case to be had from the Secretary, CongressPilgrimage, 20 Ovington Square, S.W.3.
The dates of the Congress-Pilgrimage are May 26tli, 27th, 28th. The Place, ROME.
Film Lectures
Lectures have recently been given by the Hon. Secretary as follows : Italian Films, to the Italian Club, Oxford ; The
Cinema and Parental Responsibility, to the County School Parents’ and Teachers’ Association, Tunbridge Wells; Introducing Catholic Film Action (together with a film show) at Beckenham ; The Moral Aspects of Some Recent Films, to the Digby Stuart College, Roehampton, and the introductory Conference to a Course of Film Appreciation, which the C.F.I. is organising for the Southern Region of the Association of Convent Schools.
We are glad to do what we can to ^ help in this and other ways to ™ propagate the Catholic viewpoint on films. In the London District expenses are negligible, but journeys outside that area involve expense and, if it is necessary to be away for a night, the question of a priest supply becomes necessary. We have no subsidy of any kind and the sole source of income is that derived from our members and friends and the sale of Focus and the commission on film rentings. This does not allow honoraria to be paid to our lecturers. If, therefore, intending organisers will bear this fact in mind, it will make things easier in many i ways.
