Our 8pm screening is the dramatic comedy, The Great Escaper, the final film in the careers of both Michael Caine and Glenda Jackson.
SITTING DUCK
France/Germany (subtitles), 2023, Drama
106 mins, Rated M (offensive language)
Cast: Isabelle Huppert, Yvan Attal, Marina Foïs
Based on a true story, Maureen Kearney, is the head of the French nuclear workers union. She becomes a national figure when she discovers illegal top-secret deals and corruption in the French nuclear sector. But rather than being celebrated for her work, Kearney is isolated and vilified by the federal minister and nuclear industry operators, who position her as the one responsible for the scandal.
Kearney must now fight the government to bring the real culprits to justice to defend not only her reputation but also save the jobs of 50,000 nuclear industry workers who are threatened with dismissal.
Simply brilliant. Isabelle Huppert has the skill to tell us everything we need to know, while giving nothing away. - AFR

We are keeping the sites as safe as possible while the weather and temperatures improve enough for permanent repairs.
This includes weekly checks when contractors are sweeping or removing loose chip as required.
Some sites have continued to lose chip quite rapidly after a sweep. This can make it look like they have not been swept. We arrange re-sweeps when that happens.
We have put temporary traffic management in place for the high speed rural environments where this happened, with signs warning drivers of the hazard and announcing speed limits.
Under the terms of our contracts, the cost of this management and safety work, and the final permanent repairs, are being carried by the relevant contractors – not Council or the ratepayer.
We are investigating the reason for these failures so we can avoid these situations in future.

This heart warming story is based on the life British World War II Navy veteran, Bernard Jordan.
The year is 2014 and with commemorations due to take place for the 70th anniversary of D-Day in France, Bernie is heartbroken. He's in no condition to attend as he is about to turn 90 and living out his days in a nursing home in Suffolk.
Undeterred, Bernie hatches a plan to break out of his nursing home to secretly attend the ceremony in France to give a heartfelt goodbye to a fallen friend. Along the way, he's aided by strangers, makes new friends and the news of his "escape" makes him an international sensation.
