Good People

On Thursday the 17th October, WFS will be doing our annual screening of the Show Me Shorts Film Festival, which has become a crowd favourite.

We are doing two sessions of the Sampler Program. One at 6pm and one at 8pm. It is screening ONE NIGHT ONLY - SO DON'T MISS IT

SMS 2024 - Sampler Program
NZ and International short films
105 mins, Rated M - (strong language and content that may offend.)

Enjoy the highlights from this year’s Show Me Shorts (SMS) Film Festival. It's a selection of the most vibrant, fun and imaginative short films from NZ and around the world.

Equal parts moving and silly, the stars include Joanna Lumley and Ben Whishaw, alongside local actors who shine.

SMS is all about the connections between us. You'll see heartfelt stories of homelessness, demolition derbies, the horrors of camping, dealing with death... and meeting your partner's weird family for the first time!

WFS is proud to be part of the 2024 Whangarei Fringe Festival.

Showing at Forum North, 7 Rust Ave Whangarei on Thursday 17th October with sessions at 6pm and 8pm

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
