From L-R: Gabriel Brodetsky, Margaret Wolf, Anneliese Dodds (MP for Oxford East and Party Chair of the Labour Party), Michaela Tuckwell (Executive Director of the UPP), Cllr Mark Lygo (Mayor of Oxford), Pat O’Shea. Gabriel, Margaret (chair) and Pat (vice chair) are members of the UPP Community Cinema committee in charge of the share offer. In the 70s and 80s, the UPP, then called the Penultimate Picture Palace (PPP), was owned by Bill Heine, owner of the "Headington Shark" roof sculpture, and was a great student venue, with students often dancing in the aisles during films like the Rocky Horror Show and Stop Making Sense.
