The film, The Great White Whale, is currently touring theatres throughout Australia and overseas, and has won many awards, including Grand Prize and Best Director awards at the International Mountain and Adventure Film Festival in Bilbao, Spain, last December. It is now to breach spectacularly at its Gala Premiere at Maleny on Friday night 18th October. (6 pm for 6.30 pm start). It tells the story of a group of adventurous men who first climbed Australia’s highest mountain – not Kosciusko, but Big Ben on sub-Antarctic Heard Island in 1962.
The event will be a fund-raiser for repairs of the Maleny Community Centre. Michael will be introduced by Sara (Bucher) Stephenson, of Maleny Cheese who are also sponsoring the event. Sara is the daughter of Jon Stephenson who features in the film. There will be a Q&A session afterwards with Michael.
Entry $15 ($10 concession)
