Whangarei Film Society - 2024 season

Geoff from Central Whangarei

Good People - wecome back!

Please join us for the WFS AGM and 2024 season launch (our 21st year!) on Tuesday, March 5th at 6pm at Forum North, in the Capitaine Bougainville Theatre.

After a short interval where members can renew their subscriptions, we will show our first film of the 2024 season, Scrapper. This will likely screen at 7pm.

Members from 2023 who attend the AGM can see the film for free.

Please NOTE: Our first two film nights are on Tuesdays (5th and 12th March) due to the Capitaine Bougainville Theatre not being available.
We will resume our weekly Thursday schedule of film nights from Thursday 21st March.

SCRAPPER - DRAMA-COMEDY:
UK, 2023, Rated PG
Director: Charlotte Regan
Cast: Lola Campbell, Harris Dickinson

Following her mother's death, a resourceful 12-year-old girl, Georgie, continues to live alone in their London-outskirts flat. She makes money stealing bikes with her friend, Ali, and keeps the social workers off her back by pretending to live with an uncle. It works until Jason shows up. Apparently, he's her father - so long estranged that she doesn't recognise him. Sizing him up as a rubbish dad (absent, messy, can't cook), Georgie wonders why he's suddenly taking an interest.

SCRAPPER is a vibrant and imaginative story, full of heart-warming charm.

Poll: Would you want an unconventional funeral?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Funerals can cost as much as $22,000 and the planning can be stressful especially at a time when loved ones are grieving. Some New Zealanders are re-imagining funerals by making their own coffin or having a relaxed ceremony at home. Would you want a less traditional funeral? Share your thoughts below.
