LAST night Qantas hosted some guests to a special advanced screening of the new Australian movie, ‘The Cup’ at Roadshow Films private cinema in Sydney.
Starring Stephen Curry, Daniel MacPherson, Jodi Gordon and the late Bill Hunter, the movie is based on inspirational jockey Damien Oliver winning the 2002 Melbourne Cup on Media Puzzle just days after his brother Jason died after a track fall.
The national carrier’s aircraft features prominently in scenes throughout the movie.
“Qantas is proud to support the Australian Film Industry”, said Qantas’ manager, PR, media and communications, Amanda Bolger.
The Cup opens in cinemas on 13 Oct 2011, in the lead up to the race that stops the nation.
