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

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
