OPENING NIGHT EVENT


5:30 -7:30 p.m. - Opening Night Reception - Roof Top of Mansion House, Vineyard Haven. Toast the sunset rooftop with gorgeous 360-degree harbor views and live acoustic music from Phil DaRosa. Hors d'oeuvres catered by Zephrus and local restaurants. Champagne and wines provided by Boisset America and IDOL vodka. Beer by Stella Artois. Pellegrino Waters also available.

Premiere screening of THE OWL AND THE SPARROW at the Capawock Theater to follow at 8:00 p.m.
Stephane Gauger's film, full of rich, compelling, compassionate characters, does not shy away from romance; it's most remarkable, however, for its peek at the children who populate Saigon's streets. Though supposedly alone, they form a network that thrives on mutual support and respect. (A limited amount of "Movie Only" tickets are available).
