For Thursday, the 30th March at 6pm we are screening the French film, Full Time which was one of the hits at the NZIFF last year.

Our 8pm screening will be the brilliant Irish film, The Quiet Girl.

Full Time
France, (English subtitles) 2022
Drama, Rated M, 95 mins
Cast: Laure Calamy, Geneviève Mnich, Anne Suarez.
Director: Éric Gravel

A brilliant performance by Laure Calamy as Julie, whose life is a headlong rush from dawn everyday. There are two pre-teen kids who need mustering before she commutes from the distant suburbs to her job in a Parisian luxury hotel, where rooms must be cleaned and rearranged to perfection with precision timing, no matter what appalling state the guests have left them in.

But the harsh reality is that between childcare and travel costs, Julie is barely making ends meet. Added to that, alimony isn’t forthcoming from the children’s father, despite her desperate demands. So, when the possibility of a job more fitting to her skillset and experience arises, Julie hopes to overcome the impossible and wedge extra time into her day to be able to make it to the interview.

"In a knockout performance, Laure Calamy offers welcome visibility to all the unsung women who struggle daily to hold it all together and maintain their dignity, despite the odds." - NZIFF 2022

Sleep Better This Autumn

As the days get darker, we find ourselves spending more time indoors, curled up on our couch with a warm drink or snuggled up in bed with a good book. The leaves change colour and fall from the trees and we’re reminded that Autumn is here!

As the days get darker, we find ourselves spending more time indoors, curled up on our couch with a warm drink or snuggled up in bed with a good book. The leaves change colour and fall from the trees and we’re reminded that Autumn is here!

During the summer months you may have been a bit more flexible with your sleep schedule, because the sun would shine for longer, and you had more energy thanks to the warm weather. However, as the night’s start to draw in and the days get shorter, it’s a good idea to try to stay consistent with what time you go to bed and wake up each day.

A consistent sleep and wake time allows your body to fall into a sleep routine, and aids you to sleep more peacefully.
