The Australian Embassy in Kuwait Organises a Private Screening of “Australia” the movie

Coinciding with the release of the Baz Luhrmann film “Australia “in Kuwaiti cinemas, the Australian Embassy organised a premiere screening of the film in Layla Gallery Cinema, in Kuwait City on 28 December 2008.

Around 150 Kuwaiti and Australian guests attended the screening, including a number of Kuwait ADF personnel . The large media contingent present also gave “Australia” positive reviews that has stimulated Kuwaiti interest in the film with it being shown at all 12 cinema complexes in Kuwait.

The Embassy was able to use the screening to promote Australia as a tourist destination, with Ambassador Glenn Miles using his welcome address to promote Tourism Australia’s “See the movie, See the Country” tourism campaign.
