Whangarei Film Society - screenings for Thursday July 4th

Geoff from Central Whangarei

Good People

On Thursday the 4th July at 6pm, WFS will be screening the comedy from Argentina, Let the dance begin.

Our 8pm screening is the hilarious British comedy/mystery starring Olivia Coleman, Wicked Little Letters.

LET THE DANCE BEGIN
Argentina (Subtitles), 2023, 99 mins Comedy/Drama, R13 (Offensive language)
Cast: Santiago Caranza, Darío Grandinetti, Jorge Marrale.

Some 30 years ago, Carlos and Margarita were the most famous tango couple in the world.

Carlos is now retired and has moved to Spain, while Margarita remains in her home in Buenos Aires, immersed in a life of solitude.

A major event compels the couple to reunite and begin a journey across Argentina with their long-time friend Pichuquito. It's a road-trip which will see the three of them relive memories, reveal long held secrets and their true desires.

A gem of a film. The music and the scenery provide the foundations in equal measure and the actors are delightful. - IMDB

⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️

The Team from SPCA New Zealand

It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:

👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
