<div><span>If you haven't seen this film yet or  if you want to see it one more time on the big screen, here is your  chance. Nominated for an Oscar for&nbsp;Best Picture, this romantic comedy  immerses you in&nbsp; Paris as never before. Gil (Owen Wilson) is a  successful Hollywood screenwriter and a frustrated first-time novelist.  He is visiting Paris with his fiance but wishes&nbsp;it was&nbsp;the 1920's,&nbsp;The  Golden Age, when the City of Lights was teeming with writers, poets and  artists. A midnight stroll brings that wish even closer.</span></div>
<div><span>&nbsp;</span></div>
<div><span>Considered Woody Allen's best film since Annie Hall, this delightful movie is romantic, fanciful and extremely enjoyable.</span></div>

<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Century Gothic, ITC Avant Garde, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Dear friends of the film festival, </span></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Century Gothic, ITC Avant Garde, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">&nbsp;</span></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Century Gothic, ITC Avant Garde, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">The 2011 East Lansing Film &nbsp;Festival was a great success on all levels&nbsp;- programming, organization, attendance. Unfortunately due to the&nbsp;chronic financial crisis, ELFF&nbsp;is experiencing&nbsp;a dire deficit that threatens its very existence. </span></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Century Gothic, ITC Avant Garde, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">&nbsp;</span></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Century Gothic, ITC Avant Garde, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">&nbsp;</span><span style="font-family: Century Gothic, ITC Avant Garde, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">I am appealing to&nbsp;you to help ELFF&nbsp;get through&nbsp;this difficult time. We will be fundraising throughout the year with events, grant writing and a wide search for more sponsors. Yet if you donate now, your contribution will be tax-deductible for the year 2011. </span></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Century Gothic, ITC Avant Garde, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">&nbsp;</span></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Century Gothic, ITC Avant Garde, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Please make any size&nbsp;donation. Every little bit helps. They say it takes a village to raise a child. That now applies to holding a world-class film festival in mid-Michigan. Happy Holidays!</span></p>
