WIN TICKETS TO ‘THE DEATH OF STALIN’ OR ‘HAVE YOU SEEN THE LISTERS?’
................................................................
Another week, another double giveaway of movie tickets for our members. Aren’t you all lucky?
This week, thanks to Madman Entertainment, we have 10 in-season double passes to give away to the comedic political satire, THE DEATH OF STALIN.
It’s Moscow in 1953, and tyrannical dictator Joseph Stalin has dropped dead. What follows is a frantic – and bitingly uproarious – political power struggle to become the next leader of the Soviet Union as his parasitic cronies bumble, brawl and backstab their way to the top.
Featuring an ensemble cast and directed by Armando Iannucci (IN THE LOOP, TV’s Veep), THE DEATH OF STALIN in in cinemas from March 29. Check out its trailer by clicking HERE.
We also have another 10 in-season double passes to HAVE YOU SEEN THE LISTERS?, a documentary about Australian street artist Anthony Lister, thanks to our friends at Transmission Films.
The film is a candid and personal insight into the rise of world-renowned street artist Anthony Lister as he rises up the ranks from street artist to celebrated contemporary artist in the complex world of fine art, challenging Australia’s conservative view on art.
A compelling personal portrait of both a rising star and a grounded family man, HAVE YOU SEEN THE LISTERS? arrives in cinemas on April 5. View the film’s trailer by clicking HERE.
As with last week, all you have to do to go into the running to win a double pass to one of these films is email us at info@anufg.org.au with your name, your membership number (located under the barcode on your card) and tell us whether you wish to see THE DEATH OF STALIN or HAVE YOU SEEN THE LISTERS? The choice is yours!
Entry will close on Monday 26 March at 5 PM, with only winners to be notified via email and prizes to be collected at ANUFG screenings.
