Whangarei Film Society screenings for 8th September at Forum North
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

⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️

There's a a lot of planning that goes into Christmas day and sometimes things just don't go to plan. But it can be a good thing - a family mishap or hilarious memory that you can laugh about in Christmases to come.
