5:00 pm – 6:30 pm

Due to repair work on the Arts Centre car park, entry to the movies will be up Stewart Street from the normal driveway entrance to the end of the blue safety fence, then following the orange line across the grassy bank and down the stairs to the side entrance next to the kitchen.

Having fought hard to get the birth she dreamed of, freediver Sachiko Fukumoto connects with ocean women battling for a world where all people are supported in their birth choices.

Best New Zealand Feature, Best New Zealand Director and two other awards at the 2023 Doc Edge Film Festival

PACIFIC MOTHER

As freediving couple Sachiko Fukumoto and William Trubridge navigate maternity systems for the birth of their first child, it awakens in them a fierce realization about the lack of choice many parents face.

Director Katherine McRae follows Sachiko as she connects with ocean women from around the Pacific, from Hawai’i, Tahiti, the Cook Islands, and Aotearoa New Zealand. Through their interwoven stories, the film explores the importance of community, reclaiming traditional birthing knowledge and the connection between caring for the planet and nurturing both parents and their children.

Starring Laura Linney, Steven Reay, Kathy Bates and Dame Maggie Smith.

NZ Listener, "The Miracle Club is a poignant lesson on forgiveness and grace."

NZ Herald, "Laura Linney as Chrissie saves the day, superb as the wounded daughter, reflective, possibly ready to forgive being banished, returning after 40."

Ballygar, Ireland, 1967. A hard-knocks community in outer Dublin marches to its own beat, rooted in traditions of loyalty, faith and togetherness. There's just one tantalising dream for the women of Ballygar: to win a pilgrimage to the sacred French town of Lourdes. Close friends Lily, Eileen, Dolly and Sheila are the 'lucky' few to win this ticket of a lifetime at their riotous local raffle night.

Directed by Thaddeus O'Sullivan, this Irish comedy drama stars Maggie Smith (The Lady in the Van), Kathy Bates (Boychoir) and Laura Linney (Sully).
