Opening Gala Menu Revealed

If you already have a ticket to the Film Festival’s Opening Gala on Wed 10 Aug, then you are in for a real cinematic and gastronomic treat.

Your ticket entitles you to a three-course meal at Brasserie Blanc from 18:30, inclusive of a glass of wine (drink); followed by the film EIFFEL in the New Park Auditorium, which will be introduced by the greatest living British film critic Derek Malcolm. We are delighted that Derek will make his way to Chichester to officially open the 30th Chichester International Film Festival.
