Whangarei Film Society - screenings for Thursday June 27th

Good People

PLEASE NOTE: Our screenings at Forum North will be returning to Thursday nights as from next week.

So for Thursday the 27th June, WFS will be doing a special screening to celebrate Matariki.

It is the NZ comedy/drama, Uproar, starring Rhys Darby, Minnie Driver and Julian Dennison.

This is one night only - Screenings of Uproar will be at 6pm and 8pm.

UPROAR
2024, NZ, Comedy/Drama, 105 mins,
Rated M (violence and offensive language)
Cast: Julian Dennison, Rhys Darby, Minnie Driver, James Rolleston, Erana James. Director: Hamish Bennett, Paul Middleditch

Uproar is a heart-warming tale about connection and finding your place in the world.

The year is 1981 and 17-year-old Josh Waaka lives in Dunedin. He watches on as a rugby-obsessed New Zealand is divided over the impending arrival of the South African Springboks team.

Tensions are high and there are protests taking place nationwide.

Under pressure from home and his school to conform, Josh, who has never felt like he fits in anywhere, feels inspired by the protests to find his own voice.

A sequence of events sees Josh embrace his community and his whakapapa Māori, taking him and his whānau on an unexpected journey towards healing.

Showing at Forum North, 7 Rust Ave Whangarei

ONE NIGHT ONLY - Two screenings at 6pm and 8pm

Time to Tickle Your Thinker 🧠

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?
