Fancy swanning down the red carpet at the BFI London Film Festival Nintendo Gala and UK Premiere of The Sapphires starring Chris O’Dowd? Well we are running a fantastic comp for you to do just that, where you can win a pair of tickets to the screening and afterparty!
Happening on Monday 16th October at Odeon West End, this event also sees the first screening of the winning short film of the Nintendo BFI ‘A Vision in 3D’, supported by Ridley Scott.
Clare Stewart of the BFI describes the film as “Delightful, humorous and pulsating with great 60s soul music, this infectious film is as sparkling as the sequins on a girl-group’s stage frock. Three Aboriginal sisters – feisty Gail (award-winning Deborah Mailman), foxy Cynthia (Miranda Tapsell) and the supremely talented Julie (Australian Idol winner Jessica Mauboy) – are discovered in a country pub talent contest by down-on-his luck ‘soul brother’ Dave (Chris O’Dowd). Captivated by their singing voices, but not by their musical choices, the boozy Irishman convinces the Cummeraganja Songbirds to abandon Merle Haggard covers (along with their band name) and remodels them into an energetic soul outfit. Keen to leave their mission life and the racist small town behind them, the girls and their wayward manager head to Melbourne, track down their ‘stolen’ cuz Kay (Shari Sebbens) and sign-up to sing for the troops in Vietnam. Adapted from the successful Australian stage musical of the same name – director Wayne Blair was also associate director on the Barbican season last year – The Sapphires is inspired by the remarkable true story of co-writer and author of the original stage-play Tony Briggs’ mother and three aunts. Overflowing with great musical numbers, this joyous debut feature is peppered throughout with just enough social bite to keep it grounded.”
