-- October 19, 2024, 7:30 pm: Movie- THE ROAD TO PATAGONIA (7.30pm) Special Encore Screening
The lives of two strangers are changed forever when they cross paths on the surfing adventure of a lifetime, discovering love, downshifting and four Chilean horses.
Winner Byron Bay International Film Festival: Best Documentary
Graeme Tuckett STUFF/ THE POST 4/5 “The Road to Patagonia is an astonishing film to look at. Matty has a great eye for a frame and he sets up his cameras to drink in some glorious slices of nature. And his own and Heather’s narration – some of it recorded on the road – is economical, quite unflinching and heartfelt.”
The Road to Patagonia is a stunning, intimate and unflinching series of love letters within a documentary – firstly a love between two people, and secondly between humanity and the Earth. We follow Matty Hannon on an incredible solo adventure, to surf the west coast of the Americas by motorbike, from the top of Alaska to the tip of Patagonia.But deep in the wilderness - alone with the wolves and the bears – Matty’s plans unexpectedly fall to pieces. After losing everything, and on the cusp of quitting he meets the girl of his dreams, a permaculture farmer named Heather Hillier who throws caution to the wind and sells her urban-farm to buy a bike of her own. Together riding south, the duo meet with Zapatista rebels, Amazonian shamans and Mapuche leaders whose salient words crack the adventurers’ cultural veneer.
The theme of deep ecology underpins the entire film, visually communicated through exquisite cinematography and emotional verité sequences. Shot over 16 years, the result is an adventurous exposé on the more-than-human world, offering a physical and spiritual odyssey to better understand our place in Nature.

-- October 20, 2024, 4:30 pm: Movie- MARGUERITE'S THEOREM (4.30pm) "Marguerite’s Theorem is a worthy contemplation of a gifted student venturing into the “real world” that showcases maths and emotions can in fact mix." Emily Maskel, A Good Movie to Watch.
"Marguerite’s Theorem is an Olympian feat involving walls of calculations. More interesting is the relationship Marguerite has with another student, Lucas (Julien Frison), and her friendship with Noa (Sonia Bonny), who’s another kind of trailblazer altogether." Jen Shieff, NZ Herald
Special Screening at the Cannes Official Selection
Official Selection French Film Festival Aotearoa.
Immerse yourself in a tale of obsession, genius, and self-discovery set within the world of elite academia in Marguerite’s Theorem. César-winner Ella Rumpf is Marguerite, a brilliant young mathematician who refuses to let her status as the lone woman in her class hinder her pursuit of excellence. However, her world crumbles when a new student discovers a flaw in her thesis, and her supervisor dismisses her for being too emotional. Marguerite must now navigate the real world, unearthing new insights, gaining a fresh lease on life, and even exploring the possibility of romance.DIRECTOR: Anna Novion

-- November 2, 2024, 5:00 pm: Movie- THELMA (5.00pm) Revenge has never been sweeter.
James Croot STUFF/ WAIKATO TIMES 4.5/5 “One of 2024’s most crowd-pleasing and uplifting cinematic experiences”
When 93-year-old Thelma Post (Oscar nominee June Squibb) gets duped by a phone scammer pretending to be her grandson, she sets out on a treacherous quest across the city to reclaim what was taken from her. A story exploring aging, family, and autonomy (and uniquely inspired by action movies like “Mission: Impossible”) – the film is based on a real-life experience of writer/director Josh Margolin’s grandmother, and marks Squibb’s first leading film role of her 70+ year career. This action comedy also stars Parker Posey, Richard Roundtree, Clark Gregg, Malcolm McDowell, and Fred Hechinger.PRODUCERS: Nicholas Weinstock, Chris Kaye, Karl Spoerri, Benjamin Simpson, Zoë Worth

-- November 2, 2024, 7:30 pm: Movie- Ka Whawhai Tonu - Struggle Without End (7.30pm) There is a lot of story to tell, in the events that led to the fall of Ōrākau, and Ka Whawhai Tonu covers a lot of ground, but still finds time for some of the more bonkers true-to-life details that transpired.
Graeme Tuckett STUFF/ WAIKATO TIMES 4/5 “Ka Whawhai Tonu – Struggle Without End: A welcome depiction of some indelible New Zealand history”
Set in New Zealand (Aotearoa in Māori) in 1864, Ka Whawhai Tonu tells the story of a pivotal battle in the country’s first land wars, a battle fought with impossible odds between Māori and the colonial forces. This heroic conflict is told through the eyes of two young teenagers forced to take control of their own destiny amidst the chaos of the battle and their escape.PRODUCERS: Piripi Curtis, Toby Parkinson

-- November 16, 2024, 7:30 pm: Movie- IT ENDS WITH US (7.30pm) We break the pattern or the pattern breaks us.
James Croot STUFF/ WAIKATO TIMES 3.5/5 “It Ends with Us is, despite some obvious tonal issues and narrative flaws, easily one of the better, emotionally satisfying contemporary romantic-drama to come out of Hollywood in recent years.”
IT ENDS WITH US, the first Colleen Hoover novel adapted for the big screen, tells the compelling story of Lily Bloom (Blake Lively), a woman who overcomes a traumatic childhood to embark on a new life in Boston and chase a lifelong dream of opening her own business. A chance meeting with charming neurosurgeon Ryle Kincaid (Justin Baldoni) sparks an intense connection, but as the two fall deeply in love, Lily begins to see sides of Ryle that remind her of her parents relationship. When Lilys first love, Atlas Corrigan (Brandon Sklenar), suddenly reenters her life, her relationship with Ryle is upended, and Lily realizes she must learn to rely on her own strength to make an impossible choice for her future. Directed by Justin Baldoni and produced by Alex Saks, Jamey Heath, and Christy Hall. The film stars Blake Lively, Justin Baldoni, Jenny Slate, Hasan Minhaj, Amy Morton and Brandon Sklenar, from a screenplay by Christy Hall, based on the book by Colleen Hoover.PRODUCERS: Alex Saks, Christy Hall, Jamey Heath
