Palace Nova, Hopscotch Films and Connoisseur Gourmet Ice Cream are pleased to invite Movie Club Members to a very special advance preview of THE SAPPHIRES [PG] on August 5.

"A jewel-bright charmer"
Megan Lehmann, Hollywood reporter

THE SAPPHIRES is set in the heady days of 1968 when four young, talented singers from a remote Aboriginal mission, are discovered by an unlikely talent scout. Plucked from obscurity and branded as Australia’s answer to The Supremes, The Sapphires grasp the chance of a lifetime when they’re offered their first real gig - entertaining the troops in Vietnam. For the girls, a whole new world of love, war, politics and soul opens before them.

An adaptation of the hugely successful Australian stage musical of the same name, THE SAPPHIRES is inspired by the remarkable true story of writer Tony Briggs’ mother and her family. It stars AFI Award Winner Deborah Mailman and Australian singer Jessica Mauboy alongside an international cast that includes Bridesmaids actor Chris O’Dowd and an unbeatable soul music soundtrack.

Destined to be a smash Australian hit, The Sapphires boasts a great story full of love, laughter and tears, set against the backdrop of the social upheaval of the 1960s, with wonderful performances from the entire cast.

"The performances are sparky, the musical numbers are
beautifully shot and sung"
- Henry Barnes, Guardian [UK]
