Whangarei Film Society - screenings for Tuesday March 12th
Good People
NEWS JUST IN - we have just been notified by our film distributor that they can't supply us with a copy of the film, The Crime is Mine for screening tomorrow night.
WFS apologies for the mix up. But we will be screening the film at a later date.
So instead, on TUESDAY, the 12th March (Not Thursday) at 6pm WFS will be screening the French Drama/Mystery, Paris Memories.
Our 8pm screening will be the UK comedy, Scrapper.
Paris Memories
France (English subtitles) Drama/Mystery
2023, Rated M (Violence), 105 mins
Cast: Virginie Efira, Benoît Magimel, Grégoire Colin, Maya Sansa, Amadou Mbow. Director: Alice Winocour
Russian translator, Mia spends her waking moments trying to piece together the events of the night she survived a terrorist attack in a Paris bistro three months earlier.
Her efforts see her regularly revisit the scene in an effort to make sense of her fractured memories and get to the truth.
In doing so, Mia finds other survivors trying to do the same, along with family members of people who were killed who are also trying to understand what happened. They offer support and comfort to each other as they attempt to uncover the truth.
But Mia's obsession with getting closure consumes her and begins to cause stress in her relationships and her marriage.
Brilliantly details the personal impact of a near-death experience and the resilience required to pick yourself up and sort through the debris.

Whangarei Film Society - screenings for Thursday May 9th
Good People
On Thursday, the 9th May at 6pm, WFS will be screening a behind-the-scenes doco on the greatest racing driver of his time, Sir Jackie Stewart.
Our 8pm screening will be the film version of the best-selling book, Are you there God? It's me, Margaret.
JACKIE STEWART
UK, 2023, Documentary, 95 mins
Cast: Jackie Stewart, François Cevert, Jochen Rindt, Helen Stewart
This documentary shines a light on Formula 1 World Champion, team owner and legend of the sport, Sir Jackie Stewart.
Using previously unseen footage, Sir Jackie’s life is detailed from his early years in Scotland, to the rush of his first F1 World Championship title in 1969.
Stewart's fame and success was followed by tumultuous times when, despite opposition from those who wanted F1 to be ‘gladiatorial’, Stewart set out to improve racing safety for drivers and pit crews.
Whether you're a new fan or a lifelong F1 fanatic, this stunning documentary is worth your time. - Race Fans magazine
