TIME: 7:09 p.m.
DATE: June 19, 1999
PLACE: 8481 Allenwood Road, Los Angeles, CA 90046.

Present at said meeting were the following persons:

Eric J. Dacumos, Acting Secretary of the Board of Directors and Member of the Political Film Society

The following named persons served as Chair and Secretary of the meeting:

Chair: Michael Haas
Secretary: Eric J. Dacumos.

The first order of business was to approve the Minutes of the meeting of the Board of Directors held on March 13, 1999.

Michael Haas then circulated proposed amendments to the Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws, as proposed by the California Secretary of State and Internal Revenue Service. Following circulation of the proposed amendments and discussion thereon, the following resolution was duly adopted:
WHEREAS, the Political Film Society has been organized as a non-profit organization, but has not been approved by either the State of California or the Internal Revenue Service on that basis;
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Political Film Society hereby adopts certain changes to its Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws and the Agreement to Amend as provided by the Internal Revenue Service, as appended to these minutes.

Because several persons recently were interviewed for the Political Film Society’s radio program, the following resolution was adopted:
WHEREAS, those who agree to be interviewed on the Political Film Society’s radio program are making in-kind contributions to the Society; and
WHEREAS, Predrag Antonijevic, Alain Berliner, Matthew Bright, William Friedkin, Millard Kaufman, Chris Robinson, and Katt Shea have been interviewed for the Political Film Society’s radio program


THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that Predrag Antonijevic, Alain Berliner, Matthew Bright, William Friedkin, Millard Kaufman, Chris Robinson, and Katt Shea shall be awarded Honorary Memberships in the Political Film Society, effective today.

The next order of business was to note nominations for Political Film Society awards for 1999. The following films have been nominated thus far:

Name of Film Agency Director Category 1st Exhibit Theatre
Three Seasons October Films Tony Bui Exposé April 30 Cecci Gori Fine Arts
Bastards Marginfilms Loc Do Exposé June 11 Laemmle Grande

Michael Haas pointed out that the nomination for Bastards was tentative, as the film was first released in 1996 but apparently did not have a week-long Los Angeles exhibition until this year. [The first release date of 1999 was later confirmed.]

There being no further business to come before the meeting, upon motion duly made, seconded and unanimously carried, the meeting was adjourned.
