Les Percéides Film Festival launches its very first fundraising campaign with the sales of 125 seats in Percé.
Percé on the Rocks
directed by Gilles Carle, Quebec, 1964. While promoting the âcinĂ©ma dâauteurâ in regional QuĂ©bec, Les PercĂ©ides International Arts and Film Festival of PercĂ© is launching today online (www.perceides.ca) a vast fundraising campaign to ensure the durability of this new Gaspesian film festival as well as to develop the activities it involves.
This very first fundraising event is unique because it is selling 125 theater seats at the film festivalâs main venue in PercĂ©, the âcentre dâinterprĂ©tation de la fauneâ. Film lovers can now purchase their very own seat for $150 and become official sponsors of Les PercĂ©ides for one year.
âBy donating $150 and sponsoring a theater seat, you will also contribute to the sustainability of the International Arts and Film Festival of PercĂ©, the one and only cinematographic event on the GaspĂ© Coastâ, as per Daniel Leboeuf, the CEO of Les PercĂ©ides Film Festival as well as a reputed pharmacist and local businessman largely involved in his community.
When inaugurated in PercĂ© in August 2008, the annual cinematographic event Les PercĂ©ides also celebrated the 40th anniversary of the prestigious film event âLa Quinzaine des RĂ©alisateurs de Cannesâ with prominent guests and renowned filmmakers attending. The Festival also sponsors âLa nuit du cinĂ©maâ, an annual film night in PercĂ© which has successfully presented three winter outdoor-screening events at the breathtaking Charles Robin site in PercĂ© beside the beach, along with hot wine and outdoor fires.
On Thursday August 19th 2010 at 7 pm, the official fundraising event will reach its peak as sponsors, a filmmaker and many guests attend the very first screening of a feature film followed by a cocktail party at the âCentre dâinterprĂ©tation de la fauneâ on Irishtown road in PercĂ©. Simultaneously, this special film screening event will launch in PercĂ© the second edition of Les PercĂ©ides Film Festival between August 19th and August 21st. Both the film projection and the official festival programming will be announced at a press conference in PercĂ©, Monday August 9th at 11 am.
