Whangarei Film Society - screenings for TUESDAY August 26th

Good People

The film night for TUESDAY (NOT Thursday) 26th August for WFS will be in the Capitaine Bougainville Theatre at Forum North, 7 Rust Ave Whangarei.

At 6pm, WFS will screen the documentary Mozart's Sister which explores the dazzling talent and career of Maria-Anna Mozart, the older sister of Wolfgang.

Our 8pm screening is Lee, starring Kate Winslet, the fascinating portrait of the great American war correspondant and photographer, Lee Miller.

MOZART'S SISTER
Australia, 2024, Documentary, 98 mins.
Cast: Chloe Brown, Montague Cisterne
Director: Madeleine Hetherton-Miau

For the first 16 years of her life, Maria-Anna Mozart shared equal billing whenever she performed with her brother, Wolfgang.

A composer, musician and prodigy in her own right, Maria-Anna and Wolfgang often played for royalty around the world. Her father considered Maria-Anna one of the finest keyboard players in all of Europe.

But at the height of her career, Maria-Anna was made to retire as it was considered unseemly at the time for adult females to perform publicly.

Mozart’s Sister is a ‘musical-true-crime’ story that explores the amazing talent and career of Maria-Anna Mozart and what became of her music.

"Beautifully photographed and meticulously researched, this is a long overdue recognition of an artist arguably the equal of her brother." - Sydney Arts Guide

The Riddler from The Neighbourly Riddler

If a zookeeper had 100 pairs of animals in her zoo, and two pairs of babies are born for each one of the original animals, then (sadly) 23 animals don’t survive, how many animals do you have left in total?

Poll: As a customer, what do you think about automation?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Press investigates the growing reliance on your unpaid labour.

Automation (or the “unpaid shift”) is often described as efficient ... but it tends to benefit employers more than consumers.

We want to know: What do you think about automation?
Are you for, or against?
