For our fourth year in a row, Rock The Boat Film Festival will conclude with a black-tie red-carpet awards ceremony where finalists are screened and winners are awarded. This special evening brings together filmmakers, friends and family from across all regions of the festival.

If there’s just one event this year to dress up for, this is it! Our Event Photographer will begin taking photos on the red carpet at 7:00 pm sharp, ensuring you capture your red-carpet moment. These images will be made available for download, free to keep or share as you wish.

Upon arrival inside the cinema, there will be a selection of nibbles and a complimentary non-alcoholic beverage waiting for you. This pre-ceremony time provides a fantastic opportunity to network and make new connections or catch up with familiar faces.

At 7:40 pm, guests will be seated for the awards ceremony and screenings, where main category finalists will be presented, as well as further Awards of Recognition for Best Cinematography, Best Performance, Best Music Video, all four People’s Choice Awards, others yet to be announced, and the annual Rising Star Award. Following our closing ceremony, the event will conclude by 10:30 pm.

There will be a 20 minute comfort break during the ceremony, whereby any confectionary or water can be purchased from ACE Cinemas’ candy bar. The cinema is a non-licensed area, so any alcohol must be purchased and consumed within the Gold Lounge Function Room exclusively.

If you would like to arrive for networking before the red-carpet commences, there will be capacity for 60 guests in the Gold Lounge Function Room for Gala Awards Night guests starting from 5:30 pm. Admission will be on a first-come basis.

Please note: the refreshments will consist of nibbles and light finger food, not a full dinner, but there will be Gluten Free (GF) and Vegan (VG) options available. Catering staff will be on hand to advise guests about suitable food for any special dietary needs.

Please notify us if you do not wish for yourself or your child to be featured in photographs or recordings.

There is a 'no refund' policy on tickets. However, should your situation change and you cannot attend the night you are welcome to pass your ticket onto someone else, and notify us of the change of name and details.

Event programme may be subject to change or slight variation.
