Whangarei Film Society screenings for 8th September at Forum North

Geoff from Central Whangarei

Good People

For this Thursday, the 8th September at 6pm, WFS will be screening the heartwarming French film, Petit Maman.

Our 8pm session will be the Italian comedy/drama, Pinocchio.

Please Note: We are at the Orange traffic light setting and so we must abide by the guidelines set out by the WDC Forum North Events and Venue department.

Please show courtesy to others by practicing social distancing within the venue, particularly around the bar and food areas on the mezzanine floor.

PETIT MAMAN
France, 2020 | PG | French language with English subtitles, Drama.

Eight-year-old Nelly is adjusting to the passing of her grandmother and is left to emotionally fend for herself while her grieving mother and gently preoccupied father clean out the late matriarch’s rustic home.

Venturing out into the surrounding forest, Nelly meets same-age Marion who is constructing a tree house. They quickly strike up a friendship and it's not long before Nelly feels this mysterious girl is somehow very familiar.

One of the pleasures of this film is the way it casually introduces a series of strange events as if there were nothing strange about them at all. Petit Mamon is a delicate tale of childhood and an intergenerational connection that crosses through time. - Sight and Sound

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Reserve Bank has shared some pretty blunt advice: there’s no such thing as a “safe” job anymore 🛟😑

Robots are stepping into repetitive roles in factories, plants and warehouses. AI is taking care of the admin tasks that once filled many mid-level office jobs.

We want to know: As the world evolves, what skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?
