Dear Sir/Madam,
I am looking at the possibility of screening the film ‘how to make a book by Steidl’ at the National Media Museum in Bradford, UK. Please can you tell me if you allow venues to screen this film? I saw this a few years back at the Brighton Photo Biennial and I thought it was a wonderful film and would be interested in scoping the opportunity to screen this at the museum. Please can you advise me on this and also if you charge a licence fee.
I look forward to hearing from you.
With best wishes, Ruth Haycock
