Whangarei Film Society - screenings for Tuesday March 12th

Geoff from Central Whangarei

Good People

On TUESDAY, the 12th March (Not Thursday) at 6pm WFS will be screening the French comedy, The Crime is Mine.

Our 8pm screening will be the sweet English comedy, Scrapper.

The Crime is Mine
France, (English subtitles) 2023, Crime/Comedy, 102 mins, Rated PG
Cast: Nadia Tereszkiewicz, Isabelle Huppert, Dany Boon. Director: François Ozon

Paris, 1935 and the city is consumed by the news that Madeleine Verdier, a young starlet, has just been acquitted of murdering a famous French Producer in self defence.

But Madeline's act triggers a movement, with the courts scrambling to deal with women throughout the country now inspired to rise up against their oppressed place in both their marriages and society.

"A script full of wit and performances bursting with panache. The movie pays tribute to the screwball comedies of the 1930s and is a joy from start to finish."

View the trailer at: www.youtube.com...

Tickets: Door sales only. Price: $10 for WFS members, $15 for non members.

Cash only please - no Eftpos/credit card services available.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.

Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.

For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.

Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?

We hope this brings a smile!
