COMPETITION: WIN TICKETS TO WINDOWS ON EUROPE FILM FESTIVAL
...............................................................
Thanks to our friends at Dendy, we have tickets to give away to the opening night film of the 9th Windows on Europe Film Festival, screening exclusively at Dendy Canberra.
Award-winning Austrian documentary THE GREAT MUSEUM kicks off the festival in witty fashion, offering a curious and humorous behind the scenes peek at Vienna’s world-famous Kunsthistorisches Museum. Compiled without interviews or voice-over, this clever observational documentary follows curators and conservators as they work to engage modern audiences while preserving, displaying and contextualising the past.
For your chance to win one of ten double passes to the film, screening on MONDAY 24 NOVEMBER at 6:30 PM, simply email info@anufg.org.au with your name, membership number (located underneath the barcode on your card), and the answer to the following question: ‘Where is the Kunsthistorisches Museum located?’
Entries close at noon on Thursday 20 November, with winners to be contacted via email, and prizes to be collected from the Dendy Canberra box office on the night. Good luck!
