A sumptuous feast coupled with an unusual opportunity to hear from one of Australia’s most celebrated producer, Daylesford’s Richard Keddie is the latest fundraiser for Daylesford Cinema in The Rex. 

Richard will be guest speaker at a fundraising banquet on Saturday, March 22 at the Victoria Park Pavilion, Ballan-Daylesford Road. 

Two of Richard’s films, Little Fish and Ride Like A Girl are among Australia’s highest grossing box office successes. 

Richard also found success in TV dramas, and in campaign and documentary work as a writer-director, making more than 300 social justice, environmental and political TV commercials. 

A sumptuous seven-course Indian banquet is on offer, as well as a “not-so-silent auction,” and raffles. 

The chef is Raman Richards who quickly made an impact after arriving here 16 months ago. His mother, Puja Kumari, has decades of experience running award-winning restaurants. Guests are asked to arrive at 6.45pm for the banquet at 7.15pm.

Soft drinks, beer and wine may be bought. Tickets are $70 per head. Bookings: www.events.humanitix.com/phoenix-at- the-rex-indian-banquet
