Cascading chocolate fountains, gooey brownies, creamy coffee and Johnny Depp? If this sounds like the perfect way to start your Saturday night then come check out Filmboard’s Valentine’s Day inspired event tomorrow evening. Thanks to a partnership with the DUC and Dining Services, a chocolate bar and refreshments will be served from 7:30 pm to 9:30 pm for $5 per person. The sinfully delicious film “Chocolat” will start at 8:00 pm (free for all students). So bring your sweetheart along, or simply come for a delightful chocolate filled night!
Are you wondering who is bringing you this classy, rich event? Well, the answer is Filmboard! Filmboard is WashU’s premiere film society, dedicated to promoting the love of movies. You may have heard of Filmboard from past events, including its annual tradition of giving away free tickets to feature films such as “Rocky Horror Picture Show” in October or “Watchmen” last March. Filmboard has grown in the previous year by offering more organized screenings on campus. Last semester, Filmboard showed pre-releases such as “Star Trek,” “Up,” and “Harry Potter: 6”, among others, on the big screen in DUC Commons.
Look out for more Filmboard events. The Oscar winner will be shown in late March, and Avatar (if it does not win for Best Picture) will be shown in April. Both will be shown in the DUC Commons.
