[Press release from the Cleveland Cinematheque.]
Greater Cleveland film lovers will gather at the at the Cleveland Institute of Art Cinematheque on Sunday, February 24th to attend a very special film and benefit organized by Ciné Arts Cleveland!, a local internet group for movie lovers.
Entitled “Eat Drink Watch Oscars” (a reference to Ang Lee’s Oscar-nominated 1994 film Eat Drink Man Woman), this unique benefit will begin with WATCHing the new film Sister at the Cinematheque at 4:30 p.m. (Sister is
Switzerland’s official entry for this year’s Oscar for Best Foreign
Language Film.) After the screening, the party will move to Nighttown
for the EAT and DRINK portions of the evening. Before, during, and
after dinner, partygoers will WATCH the Red Carpet and Academy Awards
presentations on large-screen televisions beginning at 7 p.m. Serious
cinephiles will have a special quiet room (away from the restaurant
hubbub) devoted to WATCHing the telecast following dinner.
“I’m pleased that Ciné Arts Cleveland!
has reached out to us with this benefit. I think it will be fun. Why
stay home and watch the Oscars alone when you can celebrate and
commiserate with other like-minded film buffs at one of the region’s
finest restaurants?” said John Ewing, Cinematheque Director.
Tickets
cost $100 ($50 of which is a tax-deductible donation to the
Cinematheque) and include both admission to the film at the Cinematheque
and the subsequent celebration of film at Nighttown. A welcoming
cocktail and hors d'oeuvres will be followed by a sit-down
three-course meal and continued fellowship until the last award is
handed out. Zoss the Swiss Baker will provide gourmet petits fours. The event is Black-tie Optional.
Tickets
may be purchased by calling Liz Huff at the Cleveland Institute of Art,
216.421.7957. Tickets are also available online at http://eatdrinkwatchoscars.brownpapertickets.com/ Walk-ups (cash only) will be accepted on the day of the event if space is available.
“Eat Drink Watch Oscars” patrons will also receive complementary 2013 memberships in both Ciné Arts Cleveland! ($5) and Music Cleveland! ($10).
