Staging a matinee session of the new Australian film Opal Dreaming is part of one Charles Sturt University academic’s effort to raise funds for the international aid charity Oxfam on Sunday 12 November. Ecotourism senior lecturer Dr Rosemary Black is raising funds for a bicycle tour of Cambodia, an Oxfam Challenge, to highlight severe development problems in this country. Starring Vince Colosimo, Jacqueline McKenzie, Christian Byers and Sapphire Boyce, Opal Dream is an enchanting, funny and profoundly moving story about some apparently imaginary friends in the opal capital of Australia. Proceeds from tickets to the screening go direct to Oxfam as part of Dr Black’s challenge. The film will be screened at the Regent Theatre in Dean St, Albury, starting at 4.15pm on 12 November with tickets costing $15 on sale at the door from 3.30pm.
