Whangarei Film Society - screenings for Thursday 9th October

Good People

The film night for Thursday 9th October for WFS will be in the Capitaine Bougainville Theatre at Forum North, 7 Rust Ave Whangarei.

At 6pm, WFS will screen the documentary ICE MAIDEN, the amazing story of Lisa Blair who aims to be the first woman (and just the third person in history) to sail solo, non-stop and unassisted around Antarctica.

Our 8pm screening is the American drama starring Jessica Lange, Kathy Bates and Pierce Brosnan, THE GREAT LILLIAN HALL.

ICE MAIDEN
Documentary, 99 mins
Cast: Lisa Blair, Jessica Watson, Robert McDavitt
Director: Nathaniel C.T. Jackson

The astonishing journey of solo-adventurer Lisa Blair as she embarks on her voyage to be the first woman to sail solo, non-stop and unassisted around Antarctica.

Equal parts ambitious and treacherous, this trip has only ever been completed twice. Lisa's goal is to complete the journey for just the third time in history and to break the current record for speed.

As she navigates the most perilous parts of the journey, Lisa's confidence grows. But her instincts also tell her that no amount of preparation can guarantee her safe return.

When life-threatening weather conditions cause catastrophe, Lisa needs every ounce of courage, determination and self-belief she has to survive in the most dangerous waters on the planet.

"Ice Maiden is so much more than a journey. Lisa's at the edge of the world, battling impossible conditions and you're on the edge of your seat as you watch." - IMDB

The Riddler from The Neighbourly Riddler

If a zookeeper had 100 pairs of animals in her zoo, and two pairs of babies are born for each one of the original animals, then (sadly) 23 animals don’t survive, how many animals do you have left in total?

Poll: As a customer, what do you think about automation?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Press investigates the growing reliance on your unpaid labour.

Automation (or the “unpaid shift”) is often described as efficient ... but it tends to benefit employers more than consumers.

We want to know: What do you think about automation?
Are you for, or against?
