Whangarei Film Society - screenings for Thursday August 8th
Good People
On Thursday the 8th August at 6pm, WFS will be screening the French film, Divertimento, a heart-warming tale based on the life of an Algerian immigrant growing up in Paris, whose love for music as a teenager inspired her to work to try to join the French National orchestra.
Our 8pm screening is the delicious French film about cooking with Juliet Binoche, The Taste of Things.
DIVERTIMENTO
France (English subtitles), 2023, Drama,
Biographical story, 105 mins, Rated PG
Classical music is everything for Zahia and her twin sister, Fettouma in 1995. But with the teenage girls living in an underprivileged region of Paris, and with their Algerian background, their day to day life is a struggle to fulfil just their basic needs. They know how much of a fantasy it will be to obtain their dreams of becoming an orchestra conductor and a cellist.
But, with traditional pathways not open to them, the sisters channel their passion and courage to create their own orchestra from scratch, which they name Divertimento.
"An inspiring tale about how talent also requires the fuel of perseverance." - IMDB
