BearCity Film Premiere
$50.00

Saturday 19th June, Sun Theatre, Yarraville, From 1:00pm
Member: $50 | Brethren: $60 | Non-Member: $70

It's not often we get a film premier here in Melbourne; let alone of a highly anticipated US film starring a whole bunch of burly bears! The much hyped BearCity is set for release in the US later this year, but we'll have it screened exclusively at Southern HiBearnation 2010 at the Sun Theatre. Not to mention the food and alcohol of course, this is the kind of special event that only happens once! Here is the synopsis for Bear City: “Set in New York’s gay “bear” scene and taking a cue from the popular HBO franchise “Sex and the City,” BearCity follows a tight-knit pack of friends experiencing comical mishaps, emotionally sweet yet lusty romantic encounters and a cast of colorful, diverse characters as they gear up for a big party weekend.”
