Our 8pm screening is the heartwarming documentary from Bhutan about census workers who travel the country chatting with the locals about their satisfaction with life, Agent of Happiness.
PLEASE NOTE: After the screening on the 15th May, the next WFS screening will not be until Thursday 19th June as the Forum North venue is not available.

THE OUTRUN
Scotland, 2024, Drama
112 mins, Rated M (strong language)
Cast: Saoirse Ronan, Paapa Essiedu, Stephen Dillane, Saskia Reeves
Based on Amy Liptrot’s best selling memoir of the same name, Rona is a recovering alcoholic, who returns to her home, the Orkney Islands in Scotland, after hitting rock bottom in London.
But once she is home, Rona finds it difficult to relate. She has had to deal with anarchy her whole life - her father has bipolar disorder and schizophrenia.
This movie deftly takes the viewer on her journey of loss and addiction and back again in two intertwined stories - past and present that slip along next to each other, each revealing themselves, piece by piece. And Saoirse Ronan's performance embraces both stories with utter conviction.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
