The Austin Film Festival's Annual Film and Food Party is a fundraiser to support the Young Film Makers Program. Guests to the dinner experience one of Austin's most original and enjoyable events of the year. Guests are treated to a night of fine dining, different films and other sorts of entertainment. Guests get to watch movies by some of the film makers they are supporting, and are treated to performances by live musicians. A notable event during the fundraising gala is the Silent Auction. The auction gives guests a chance to win a number of gifts, including gift certificates from Austin's top salons, spas, restaurants, boutiques, and hotels.
Products from these same locations are also possible prizes. Film memorabilia is also auctioned off. Members of the Austin Film Festival can get discounted pricing on the Film and Food Party tickets. They also receive discounts on passes and badges for the festival. The Austin Film Festival is dedicated to highlighting the work of established film makers, as well as aspiring ones, giving them the exposure needed to launch a career. The film festival helps to enhance public awareness and participation in the art of film making, and considers anyone who uses the medium of film to tell a story to be a film maker.
The Film Festival began in 1994, with a focus on the writer's contribution to the world of film. Some of the past participants in the film festival include Russell Crowe, the Coen Brothers, Barry Levinson, Robert Duvall, Oliver Stone, Sandra Bullock and Owen Wilson. Support the arts and see what the world of film has to offer, and check out the Austin Film Festival Film and Food Party.
