Good People

On TUESDAY the 8th October at 6pm, WFS will be screening the fascinating sailing documentary, Philosopher of the Sea.

This is a multi award-winning documentary and the FIRST TIME it has been screened in New Zealand.

ONE NIGHT ONLY - DON'T MISS IT

Our 8pm screening will be the French comedy, The Crime is Mine.

PHILOSOPHER OF THE SEA
Sweden, 2023, Documentary, Rated G
Director: Andreas Oscar Eidhagen

"Simple habits. Simple boat." - Sven Yrvind

This multi award-winning film shines a light on the Swedish boat designer, builder and sailor, Sven Yrvind. During his life, he has become a world-renowned figure for his solo voyages across oceans.

Now 83, Sven has, for the last five years, been building a boat for a solo journey spanning 15,000 miles from Ireland to New Zealand. It is estimated to take 300 days.

But for Sven, the real exploration of this journey is of a much deeper nature; about how people choose to live their lives.

Showing at Forum North, 7 Rust Ave Whangarei on Tuesday 8th October at 6pm as part of the Whangarei 2024 Maritime Festival.
