-- September 14, 2024, 5:00 pm: Movie- SITTING DUCK (5.00pm) SITTING DUCK: The true story of Maureen Kearney (Isabelle Huppert), the head union representative of a French multinational nuclear powerhouse. She became a whistleblower, denouncing top-secret deals that shook the French nuclear sector.
The Australian 3.5/5 "A provocative and at times disturbing drawn-from-life drama that is given extra power by an outstanding performance by Isabelle Huppert."
Set in the world of nuclear power and politics An investigative thriller set in the world of nuclear power and politics. Alone against the world, Maureen Kearney fought government ministers and industry leaders, tooth and nail to bring the scandal to light and to defend more than 50,000 jobs. Her life was turned upside down when she was violently assaulted in her own home. The investigation is carried out under pressure: the subject is sensitive. Suddenly, new elements create doubt in the minds of the investigators. At first a victim, Maureen becomes a suspect.

-- September 14, 2024, 7:30 pm: Movie- GHOSTLIGHT (7.30pm) GHOSTLIGHT: A FILM ABOUT FAMILY, ART, HUMOR & HEALING
After premiering at Sundance this year, Ghostlight has impressed audiences and critics alike with its touching and gently comic tale of the healing power of art.
Alex Thompson and Kelly O'Sullivan’s moving, gently comic collaboration is about the power of live theater to make sense of our offstage dramas and personal narratives. Ghostlight centers on Dan (Keith Kupferer), a melancholic middle-aged construction worker grieving a family tragedy.Cut off from his devoted wife, Sharon (Tara Mallen), and talented but troubled
daughter, Daisy (Katherine Mallen Kupferer), Dan finds comfort and community in a misfit
company of amateur actors. While moonlighting in a low-rent production of Shakespeare’s most
protean tragedy, Dan is forced to confront his buried emotions.Real-life family Mallen, Kupferer, and Mallen Kupferer bring tenderness and authenticity to this poignant portrait, while Dolly de Leon — last seen stealing the scene in Triangle of Sadness — is hilarious as Dan’s irascible, improbable co-star.

-- October 5, 2024, 7:30 pm: Movie- MARGUERITE'S THEOREM (7.30pm) "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
