Opening Night Gala

Voila! The Opening Night Gala for the 37th Alliance Francaise French Film Festival. 
Live music filled the air as our guests entered the Palace Barracks foyer. After a red carpet moment, guests were invited to a glass of wine, to mingle with the gorgeous city views as their backdrop and watch live painter, Dr. David Hinchliffe, former deputy-mayor work his magic en plein air. 

Professor Graeme Nimmo RFD, Patron of the Alliance Française de Brisbane introduced the festival before the beautiful film, Colours of Time. After the film, the afterparty commenced with DJ Orelee, an immaculate spread of cheese and the completed paintings, made only more beautiful after the viewing of the film.
