Good People
The film night for Thursday 18th September for WFS will be in the Capitaine Bougainville Theatre at Forum North, 7 Rust Ave Whangarei.
At 6pm, WFS will screen the gentle, intelligent and profoundly beautiful film from Georgia, CROSSING.
Our 8pm screening is THE RETURN starring Ralph Fiennes and Juliette Binoche. Based on Homer's Odyessy, it is a powerful story of a king returning to his family after years away and attempting to unite a fractured nation.
CROSSING
Georgia/Turkey (subtitles), 2024,
Drama, 105 mins, Rated M
Cast: Mzia Arabuli, Lucas Kankava and Deniz Dumanli.
Director: Levan Akin
In Georgia, a retired history teacher, Lia has been working day and night to keep a promise to her now-dead sister. She has made it her mission to find her long-lost niece, Tekla.
Tekla disappeared some time ago, supposedly to Turkey. It happened when her husband insisted that Tekla leave and never return when she came out as trans.
In Istanbul, Lia does her best but struggles to make progress. It almost feels like Tekla doesn't want to be found. But then Lia meets Evrim, a lawyer who says she will use her contacts to help her find Tekla.
"Crossing marks another humanist triumph for writer-director Levan Akin." - Metacritic

Poll: 🤖 What skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?
The Reserve Bank has shared some pretty blunt advice: there’s no such thing as a “safe” job anymore 🛟😑

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!
