Whangarei Film Society - screenings for Thursday August 17th
Good People
For Thursday, the 17th August at 6pm we are screening the amazing French documentary, Notre Dame on Fire.
Our 8pm screening is the British film, Living starring Bill Nighy.
Notre Dame on Fire
France , 2022, Drama 102 mins, Rated M
A documentary-style retelling of the blaze which destroyed much of the Notre-Dame cathedral in Paris in 2019.
Using dramatic reconstructions, digital effects and the splicing in of bystander video and news footage, Annaud brings this terrifying event to life from the headlines.
With buttresses about to collapse and molten lead pouring from the roof, Emergency Rescue crews faced overwhelming challenges as they risked their lives in an attempt to safeguard the building and its historic treasures.
"Annaud combines action sequences with actual footage of the event to eyebrow-scorching effect." - The Observer, UK.

Poll: Should we ditch daylight saving? 🕰️
First introduced in New Zealand in 1927 with the passing of the Summer Time Act, it's what we know as 'Daylight Saving' and this year it ends on the first Sunday in April.
While we do get to sleep in this time around, some people would like to scrap the clock tinkering for good.
And why? Some evidence suggests the time changes are bad for our health as they mess with sleep patterns leading to short-term fatigue and affecting mood. Meanwhile the hour change is frustrating for farmers and a nightmare for getting the littlies to sleep. But what's your take?
-
40.8% Yes - get rid of the clock changes
-
57.4% No, I enjoy it
-
1.8% Other - I'll share below
Don't overthink this riddle...
I have a silver sole
but no feet,
I make my living by bringing the heat.
What am I?
