Event

Cineworks Oscar Party + Fundraiser

And the award for best Oscar Party choice goes to...you!

It's that time of year again, so get ready to dust off your tuxes and gowns. Join Cineworks and Talent Time's Paul Anthony on February 28th for a live comedic viewing of the 88th Academy Awards at The Imperial in downtown Vancouver.

The event will feature a red carpet (we weren't kidding about those fancy dresses), a silent auction of over a dozen items, delicious canapés and other edibles by Fiesta Catering, and a cash bar (your ticket includes a glass of wine courtesy of Everything Wine). All funds raised go towards supporting Cineworks programs, which focus on non-commercial and community-based creative initiatives.

Cineworks Independent Filmmakers' Society is an artist-run production and exhibition centre that has supported independent filmmakers and media artists in Vancouver and the Lower Mainland since 1980. Cineworks has an active membership of over 200 filmmakers who are involved in the creation of many of the city's finest auteur projects on an ongoing basis. With a firm commitment to development of Canadian cultural policy through discussion, research, and exhibition, we engage our membership and the broader community through the transformative power of the moving image and the changing role of film in its contemporary context.

Paul Anthony is an entertainer, comedian, and host/organizer of the raucously funny live comedy/variety/talk show and cable access TV program TALENT TIME. He has not yet been nominated for an Oscar.

Cineworks is a Revenue Canada registered charity and we can gladly provide tax receipts for the non-food portion of your ticket. Please contact cineworks.oscarparty@gmail.com for more information.
