Adelaide/Auckland International Film Festival
Adelaide/Auckland International Film Festival
Sir,
Last year we held the 1st International Film Festival in Auckland. Several Wellington students complained to me later that the Festival was not publicised in Wellington, since they would have come to Auckland for it, had they known about it.
Since the Festival is a non-profit venture, run on a shoestring budget, we can't afford to buy adverts outside Auckland; we therefore depend upon any publicity we can get from student newspapers and other sympathetic sources. We would be extremely grateful if you (or your film reviewer) could mention the Festival in Salient so that Wellington students will know about it this time. I enclose the provisional list of titles (which includes Fellini, Bresson, etc.). I'd be happy to send you more information if you're interested.
The Festival will be held in Auckland from 17-30 July.
