The Canberra International Film Festival Board is honoring producer Harvey Weinstein and his body of work later this month with a series of events spaced out over 3 days (the 22nd, 23rd, and 24th of November).

We’ve mentioned if before if you want to read up on it.

If you’re not a movie buff you might not pay much attention to who produces the films you watch, and you may not recognise the name Harvey Weinstein. However you will recognise the movies he’s been responsible for.

Harvey’s movies have won 78 Oscars over the years, and he’s been involved in some of the biggest AAA big budget movies as well as many cult classics and numerous beloved art-house films.

He’s kind of a big deal is what I’m saying.

The Canberra International Film Festival Board have been kind enough to gift us some double passes to the festivities. If you’re a movie fan, or if you really want to impress a movie fan with the best date ever, then you need in on this competition.

Check out the website for the event here.

We’ve got one free double pass double pass to the Oration at the Museum of Australian Democracy on the 22nd of November to give away, and one to Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom plus Closing Night party on the 24th of November.

How do you enter?

Just tell us what your favourite Harvery Weinstein film is and why!

Simple right?

Check out his imdb page for inspiration.

Johnboy and I will then pick out the people whose answers we agree with the most and you will win a double pass!

gangs of newyork is my favourite 🙂

My favourite ‘Harvey Weinstein’ film is THE LORD OF THE RINGS Trilogy.

Obviously important enough to make it as the image for this article, but also notable for being a film that has Harvey Weinstein (and his brother) attached only by name: they became involved way back in 1995 but Peter Jackson balked at their ideas (which primarily revolved around reducing the three books to one two-hour film and cutting out/merging/shortening a whole bunch of plots and characters) and found additional funding elsewhere.

Jackson goes on to make an epic trilogy with all the depth and details from Tolkein’s novels intact and the Weinstein brothers are rake in millions simply for getting in on the rights early. Win-win for all!

Chocolat! Because I, too, fail to wear black shoes like the other mothers, getting around in my shiny red pumps for no reason other than because a splash of colour makes me smile. And because everyone needs a little sweetness in their every day, be it chocolate or some other treat. 🙂

PULP FICTION, because it ushered in a new era of film-making (as wella s the phrase “Tarantino-esque”).
