A Month of Sundays Screening / Q&A Date Change
Due to work commitments we have had to change A Month of Sundays screening & Q&A at the Mercury Cinema, now on August 8. Any bookings already made we be transferred to the new date - you don't need to rebook. The talented DoP Mark Wareham ACS is coming especially to Adelaide to present a Q&A after the screening of this wonderful local production. Mark has won many ACS awards including 3 National Gold Tripods. AMoS was not a big budget feature and was shot over a 4 week schedule so come and hear how Mark approached this film with such constraints. ACS & ASE members free (Bookings are still essential).
$10 for other screen guild members (e.g. AWG, SPA, ADG, AACTA) and MRC members and students.
General Public $15. Book now: Via the link below by August 8 When: Wednesday 26th July Where: Mercury Cinema, Morphett Street, Adelaide Time: 1815 Screening starts @ 1845 Drinks available at the MRC Bar, ACS members will receive a free drink.
