In the hustle and bustle of life, we often forget to take a moment for ourselves, to simply rest and recharge. So, let this day be a gentle reminder to slow down and prioritize your own peace of mind.

So, whether you choose to bask in the sun's warm embrace, listen to the soothing sounds of nature, or simply relish the beauty of a moment suspended in time, remember that relaxation is a gift you deserve to give yourself.

Wishing you a day filled with serenity, calmness, and a profound sense of wellbeing. Happy Relaxation Day! ???

Good People

For Thursday, the 17th August at 6pm we are screening the amazing French documentary, Notre Dame on Fire.

Our 8pm screening is the British film, Living starring Bill Nighy.

Notre Dame on Fire
France , 2022, Drama 102 mins, Rated M

A documentary-style retelling of the blaze which destroyed much of the Notre-Dame cathedral in Paris in 2019.

Using dramatic reconstructions, digital effects and the splicing in of bystander video and news footage, Annaud brings this terrifying event to life from the headlines.

With buttresses about to collapse and molten lead pouring from the roof, Emergency Rescue crews faced overwhelming challenges as they risked their lives in an attempt to safeguard the building and its historic treasures.

"Annaud combines action sequences with actual footage of the event to eyebrow-scorching effect." - The Observer, UK.

View the trailer at: www.youtube.com...

Tickets: Door sales only. Price: $10 for WFS members, $15 for non members. Cash only please - no Eftpos/credit card services available.

Visit whangareifilmsociety.org and sign up for our free weekly email for information on our films and screening dates for 2023.
