WAGFG Film Festival - The Lunchbox

A very special event that will see the Gold Class Cinemas transported to the streets of India in an incredible feast for the senses.

Set against the rich tapestry of Mumbai and its curious culinary delivery system, where “tiffin wallahs” deliver lunchboxes of hot food to workers from homes and restaurants, this romantic drama was an unexpected charmer. The New York Times commented that it “puts Old Hollywood style in a Mumbai that has escaped the cyber world,” as a muddled delivery connects a middle-class housewife and a man in the dusk of his life, through food and scribbled notes.

For this event to be hosted in four Saturday night sessions in Gold Class, we are partnering with Inglewood’s Chakra Restaurant to deliver an incredible Indian menu using WA produce to be served before and throughout the film; expect the scents of India to transport you to the screen in this truly immersive dining and screening experience.

Guests to this screening will be greeted by roving trays of nibbles including Leeuwin Coast Akoya oysters, Pani Puri, fritter bites, fried flat naan bites and start the night with a glass of WA wine or beer. Non-alcoholic options will also be available. You’ll then head into the cinema and be treated to the following amazing menu from Chakra served in a THALI ( an open form of Lunchbox)
