Whangarei Film Society - screenings for Tuesday May 28th

Geoff from Central Whangarei

Good People

PLEASE NOTE: Our film screenings for the next few weeks at Forum North will be on TUESDAYS not Thursdays as the venue is not available then.

So, on TUESDAY, the 28th May at 6pm, WFS will be screening this year's Oscar winning film for Best international film, The Zone of Interest.

Our 8pm screening will be the fascinating documentary on the NZ modernist artist, Frances Hodgkins in Anything But A Still Life.

The Zone of Interest
UK, 2023, Historical Drama, 105 mins
(English subtitles), Rated M

Winner of this year's Oscar for Best International Film, The Zone of Interest is based on the 2014 novel by Martin Amis.

Rudolf Höss is the commandant of Auschwitz. He and his wife, Hedwig strive to create a happy life for their children in a luxury home and gardens in the "Zone of Interest" which has been built right next to the concentration camp.

A brilliant examination of human complicity. - The Playlist

What's your favourite tomato recipe?

Mei Leng Wong Reporter from NZ Gardener & Get Growing

Kia ora neighbours. We know your tomato plants are still growing, but we're looking ahead to the harvest already! If you've got a family recipe for tomatoes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine to share with our readers. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our February 2025 issue.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.

When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
