Fabulous opportunity to Meet the Guests and help raise funds for the Festival
Out In Africa has a number of functions during the Festival – usually only for our guest filmmakers and funders. This year, in an effort to raise funds for the Festival and to make our social events less exclusive, we are offering Festival patrons the opportunity for ‘quality time’ with our guests.... at a price. There will be 10 places available at each event.
They are as follows:
Johannesburg
Sunday 6 September: Lunch at a really gorgeous country venue about 45 minutes outside of Johannesburg. The repast includes a three course buffet meal and wine in a relaxed atmosphere from noon to 3pm. Dress code is casual. R650 per person. Up to date 8333 members are eligible for a 10% discount. Bookings close Friday 28 August.
Tuesday 8 September: A buffet dinner at the Residence of the Ambassador of Argentina, in Pretoria. This will be a glittering event with a guest list of queer who’s who, diplomats, OIA funders and guests. Queer and mainstream press will be invited to cover the event. Dress code is smart casual. R850 per couple. Up to date 8333 members are eligible for a 10% discount. Bookings close Tuesday 1 September.
Wednesday 9 September: A three course dinner, with wine, at an exclusive restaurant at Montecasino, from 7pm to 9.30pm. Again, all Festival filmmaker guests will be in attendance, as well as a number of funders and diplomats. Dress code is smart casual. R650 per person. Up to date 8333 members are eligible for a 10% discount. Bookings close Tuesday 1 September.
Details for the Cape Town event on Sunday 13 September will be available shortly.
