The Motion Picture Association of Antigua and Barbuda is set to host a major film event as the association seeks to boost efforts to revitalize indigenous film making.
On December 1, 2018, World AIDS Day, the Antigua and Barbuda Film Academy, an arm of the Motion Picture Association, will stage the first in a series of events dubbed “Red Wine and a Movie”. This event takes place at the Caribbean Cinemas at 6pm. World renowned AIDS activist and treatment specialist Dr. Sir Prince Ramsey will be the guest of honour.
This red carpet event will premiere the Film Academy’s latest production titled ‘The Lil Rude Bowys /Girls’. The feature length film, which is based on a book of the same title was written, produced and directed by students of the Antigua Film Academy. Earlier this year ‘The Lil Rude Bowys/Girls’ made its premiere in Canada where it was well received.
The event aims to raise funds to offset expenses for the 2019 hosting of the Antigua & Barbuda Film Academy, which is a summer film school in which interested persons are taught the essentials of digital filmmaking.
Tickets for the “Red Wine and a Movie” event are available at a cost of $50.00EC. Pledges and sponsorships can also be made to the association.

What has become of Bert Kirchner? Has he had an attitude adjustment yet?
What’s the name of the ex oficio member? Is that the real name or Instagram handle?
Had the government purchased the Delux Cinema, this event could be held right there. Because I am sure Caribbean Cinemas will charge them an arm and a leg for this.
