Whangarei Film Society - screenings for Thursday October 23rd

Geoff from Central Whangarei

Good People

The film night for Thursday 23rd October for WFS will be in the Capitaine Bougainville Theatre at Forum North, 7 Rust Ave Whangarei.

At 6pm, WFS will screen the French comedy, A LITTLE SOMETHING EXTRA.

Our 8pm screening is the powerful documentary about Lisa Blair's attempt to sail solo around Antarctica, ICE MAIDEN .

A LITTLE SOMETHING EXTRA
France, Comedy (subtitles) 2024
98 mins, Rated M
Cast: Artus, Clovis Cornillac, Alice Belaïdi, Marc Riso, Celine Groussard
Director: Artus

Following a jewel heist, two criminals, Lucien and Paulo are on the run when opportunity knocks – they are mistakenly escorted onto a bus going to a summer camp in the French countryside for young adults with disabilities.

To avoid detection, Paulo assumes the role of an intellectually disabled camper with his father, Lucien acting as his "caregiver".

But slowly, Lucien and Paulo warm to their situation and learn there’s more to life than a quick score. It is a story that perfectly mixes humour and drama as it highlights the life and daily challenges of people with disabilities.

"This film has stormed the French box office. It’s not only the biggest hit so far this year, it's also the highest grossing French movie since the 2020 pandemic." - Variety

Showing at Forum North, 7 Rust Ave Whangarei on Thursday, 23rd October at 6pm and Thursday, 30th October at 8pm

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?
