FESTIVAL CLUB
VOTING TICKETING
VENUESDriven by Volkswagen 18–29 March 2009 www.mqff.com.au
The MQFF Festival Club is the ideal spot to meet up with friends and kick back before your film screening. Saddle up for a delicious meal, a quick snack, some coffee, a glass of wine (thanks to our Festival sponsors Train Trak Winery and Krombacher Beer). Hell, we’re even doing frozen daiquiris this year (three cheers for The Daiquiri Group!)
Drop in for a quick bite, linger with friends or just hit the beanbags and soak up the atmosphere. It’s the one-size-fits-all venue.
The Festival Club opens half an hour before the first film of the day and is open til late every night – and even later on Friday and Saturday nights, where we bust out the DJs and good times. You’ll find the Festival Club in the Function Space of ACMI (ground floor, Flinders Street side – if you’re at the Box Office, take the escalators downstairs). Entry is free, so come on down!
Don’t miss your chance to decide the best of the Fest in 2009! Vote for the features, shorts or documentaries that had you sniggering, sobbing, sighing or sizzling.The Festival is offering a record $16,000 in cash prizes to deserving filmmakers. There’s five different audience choice awards up for grabs, all decided entirely on your vote.
Voting forms are available at ACMI Cinemas and the Festival Club, or you can vote online at www.mqff.com.au. See p.11 of the Program for details of all awards.
