On Thursday, the 16th May at 6pm, WFS will be screening the award-winning and moving film, Riceboy Sleeps.
Our 8pm screening will be a behind-the-scenes doco on the greatest racing driver of his time, Sir Jackie Stewart.
RICEBOY SLEEPS
Canada, 2022, Comedy/Drama, Rated M, English subtitles, 109 mins
Cast: Choi Seung-yoon, Ethan Hwang, Hunter Dillon.
Director: Anthony Shim.
A heart-warming story set in the 1990s of So-Young, a Korean single mother who is raising her son Dong-Hyun in the suburbs of Canada to provide a better life for him than the one she left behind in her native country.
As Dong-Hyun gets older, he becomes more curious about his Korean heritage and, in particular, about his dead father, something So-Young refuses to discuss.
To make matters worse, Dong-Hyun learns his mother is now in a relationship with a Korean-Canadian man who is keen to be Dong-Hyun’s surrogate father.
(Writer/Director) Anthony Shim is a ferociously talented storyteller.

What you need to know:
- Every part of the plant is poisonous, and can cause gastroenteritis, thirst, paralysis, blindness, and heart and kidney failure.
- This plant is hardy and normal pest control efforts are often not enough to eradicate.
- The cape tulip, growing up to 90cm high with one strap-like leaf, was introduced to Aotearoa in the 1940s, the Ministry for Primary Industries’ manager for pest management John Sanson said. “Cape tulips, like many of these invasive weeds, are really attractive ornamental species ...but they escape over people’s backyard fences and into pasture, as these things often do,”
- It was classified as a noxious plant in the late 1970s after they were discovered to cause harm to livestock and humans, even killing animals when too much as ingested.
- The salmon-pink flowers bloom for about two days a year between June and December, and have previously been an ornamental species for keen gardeners.
Sanson urged people who believed they had the weed growing on their property to leave it untouched and contact Biosecurity New New Zealand’s Exotic Pest and Disease on 0800 80 99 66.
Once a site was confirmed, manual removal or chemical treatment would start.
