Chenango Film Society to host second annual fundraiser at Colonia
NORWICH – The Chenango Film Society of the Chenango Arts Council, in partnership with the Colonia Theater, is pleased to announce its first screening of 2016, “Coco Before Chanel.”
Serving as the Film Society's second annual Valentine fundraiser, organizers are extending a warmed invitation to cinema enthusiasts looking to show their solidarity for the Chenango Film Society, which is now in its second season.
The event reception will kick off at 6 p.m., Wednesday, Feb. 3 at the historic Norwich Colonia Theater located at 35 S. Broad St.
As a fundraising function, a $10 ticket at the door entitles movie-goers to a exquisite reception complete with a selection of wines and hors d’oeuvre prior to the viewing.
At 7:30 p.m., the lights dim as the original version of “Coco Before Chanel” is projected on the big screen.
Today, Chanel is a household name to fashionistas the world over; but the seldom told story of the brands matriarch is brought to light in this detailed account of one girl’s fierce determination.
The story is of a young Gabriele “Coco” Chanel (Audrey Tautou) who works as a seamstress by day and a cabaret entertainer by night, until she meets a wealthy heir (Benoît Poelvoorde) and becomes his lover and fashion consultant.
Tired of the flowery hats, tight corsets, and yards of lace that define women's fashion, Coco uses her lover's clothing as a starting point to distill an elegant and sophisticated line of women's clothing that propels her to the top of Parisian haute couture.
Movie tickets are $4 for Film Society Members and $7 for non-members.
Additional fundraising opportunities will include the raffling of a custom gift basket straight from cupid, and filled with Valentine’s Day-themed goodies.
One lucky winner will take the basket which is valued at more than $750 in items from several area businesses. Items include overnight reservations for two, theater and concert gift certificates, wine, champagne, chocolates and more.
Raffle prices are $5 each or 5 for $20, and can be purchased at the Arts Council office at 27 W. Main St.
