The producers are screening an extended trailer followed by a digitally remastered print of Roman Polanski.s Chinatown on November 7 at Event Cinemas Innaloo. Before the screening there will be a silent auction of items donated by sponsors.
Collier, who also serves as associate producer, tells If the event will raise funds to enter the film in international festivals next year.
