Whangarei Film Society - Screenings for Thursday October 5th
Good People
For Thursday, the 5th October at 6pm we have the wondrous French comedy, A Good Doctor.
Our 8pm screening is the mouth-watering French drama, Sugar and Stars.
The Good Doctor
Comedy, France, (English subtitles), Rated M, 90 mins.
Due to vacation shortages, Serge is the only emergency doctor in Paris making home visits to patients on Christmas Eve. But if the pressure wasn't enough, Serge is injured in an accident with an Uber Eats delivery driver, Malek.
Unable to complete the rest of his shift, Serge quickly hatches a plan and begs Malek to step into his shoes and act as a "medical consultant" to make sure that all of Serge's patients are visited and have the chance to have a happy Christmas.
"A feel-good Christmas film like you’ve ever seen before. Wonderful."

Poll: Would you commute by public transport if it was free?
Using your car is convenient, except for finding parking.
Cycling lets you leave anytime, but you might arrive soaked.
So, neighbours, if public transport had the perk of being free, would it be your main way to commute?

Celebrate Play Week: 26 October to 1 November 2024
“Our culture has become so busy and task-oriented that play has been pushed to the back and undervalued” says our play-advocate Melinda Butt. "We have the most sedentary generation of youth ever, and this will have flow-on effects on young people's physical abilities, communication, problem-solving and mental wellbeing."
So we're getting behind "play week", aimed at reintroducing the joy and value of play in our local environments.

Poll: Does grocery bagging affect where you shop?
There's only a few differences between our larger chain supermarkets here in New Zealand. Having someone bag your groceries is one of them.
Does having your groceries packed for you at the checkout influence where you do your grocery shop? If so, tell us why.
