Tonight we welcome the one and only DAVID STRATTON to the ANU Film Group for a special Q&A event at the earlier start time of 6:30 PM.
Doors will open from 6 PM for entry, but we do expect it to be a busy night, so make sure you get along early to avoid missing out! Our canteen will also be open from 6 PM for you to get your fill of hot dogs, popcorn, drinks and lollies – with all proceeds going to charity as always.
The night’s scheduled films – THE WAIT and LOOKING FOR GRACE – will then follow after the Q&A at approximately 7:30 PM.
