    Movie- BANK OF DAVE (5.00pm)

    Category: Movies Movie- BANK OF DAVE (5.00pm)


    February 17, 2024

    The true underdog story of how Dave Fishwick, a working class man and self-made millionaire, fought to set up a community bank so that he could help the local businesses of Burnley not only survive, but thrive. In his bid to help his beloved community, he has to take on the elitist financial institutions of London and fight to receive the first, new banking license to be issued in over 150 years.

    Jen Shieff, Rotorua Post. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED "It's a David-and-Goliath story, in which snooty Oxford-educated bankers get their comeuppance."

    'Bank of Dave' tells the story of how a working class Burnley man and self-made millionaire fought to set up a community bank. Dave Fishwick (Rory Kinnear) sells vans in Burnley, Lancashire. Once the world's most productive and profitable mill town, Burnley is now one of the most deprived and neglected towns in the UK. Dave, however, through a combination of hustle and hard work, has done well for himself -- so well that in the wake of the last financial crisis he started lending money at reduced rates to his customers and local businesses. When some of those businesses start making money they ask Dave to reinvest it for them. This gives Dave an idea. Why not set up a tiny local bank that uses local money to fund local enterprise? He will call it: The Bank of Dave. The elite, London based financial authorities however, haven't granted a new bank license for over 150 years and they're not keen to grant one to a van salesmen from Burnley. Dave must enlist the help of London lawyer, Hugh (Joel Fry), junior doctor Alexandra (Phoebe Dynevor) and some local rock legends (Def Leppard) to help fight the good cause.

    Category: Movies Movie- HOW TO HAVE SEX (7.30pm)


    February 17, 2024

    Three British teenage girls go on a rites-of-passage holiday, drinking, clubbing and hooking up in what should be the best summer of their lives. Winner of the Un Certain Regard prize at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival, HOW TO HAVE SEX is a vibrant and authentic depiction of the agonies, ecstasies and ride-or-die glory of young female friendship.

    BAFTA 2024 nomination for Outstanding British Film and Outstanding Debut by a British Director.

    British Independent Film Awards 2023:

    • WINNER Best Lead Performance - Mia McKenna-Bruce, How to Have Sex
    • WINNER Best Supporting Performance - Shaun Thomas, How to Have Sex

    Cannes 2023:

    • WINNER of Un Certain Regard, How to Have Sex 

    GUARDIAN Wendy Idea 5/5 Stars "How to Have Sex review – two stars are born with this searing study of consent "

    HOW TO HAVE SEX is a vibrant and authentic depiction of the agonies, ecstasies and ride-or-die glory of young female friendship, from rising British filmmaker Molly Manning Walker.

    Three British teenage girls go on a rites-of-passage holiday, drinking, clubbing and hooking up in what should be the best summer of their lives. As they dance their way across the sun-drenched streets of Malia, they find themselves navigating the complexities of sex, consent and self-discovery.

    Captured with luminous visuals and a pitch-perfect soundtrack, Manning Walker’s directorial debut paints a painfully familiar portrait of young adulthood, and how first sexual experiences should – or shouldn’t – play out.

    Making her debut feature with a vibrant, compassionate look at sex, friendship and the sweet smell of a boozy sunburned summer holiday, director and cinematographer Molly Manning Walker (Scrapper, Good Thanks, You?) paints an exhilarating, moving, and painfully familiar portrait of young adulthood.

    Director: Molly Manning Walker
    Producers: Ivana Mackinnon (Beast), Emily Leo (Under The Shadow), Konstantinos Kontovrakis (Triangle of Sadness)

    WINTER WILSON (UK)

    Winter Wilson are one of the hardest-working duos on the European folk scene. Pre-pandemic, they had toured Australia, NZ and Canada. In 2018, they toured the UK with folk-rock icons Fairport Convention.

    Dave Wilson is recognised as one of the UK’s best contemporary folk songwriters. His songs are sung in folk clubs the world over and covered by such greats as Vin Garbutt. He’s also a fine guitarist, banjo player and singer. Kip Winter “simply has a voice to die for” (Maverick Magazine). She is equally at home singing contemporary folk, traditional Gaelic songs and blues and also plays piano accordion, flute and guitar.

    Together, the couple have produced ten albums, blending truly stunning harmonies with subtle, skilful musicianship.

    SADIE & JAY (AUS/NZ)

    Jay's intricate finger style guitar and Sadie's melodic double bass create a vivid soundscape for their passionate song-writing. From lively rag-time blues and comical ditties to compelling epic tales and ballads, this pairing will take you on a rousing musical adventure.

    Sadie & Jay have toured across Australia, New Zealand and the UK. Their distinctive music has received outstanding reviews and multiple awards over three original albums.

    2024 Nominee BAFTA Film Award Outstanding British Film of the Year: THE OLD OAK

    Cannes Film Festival Ken Loach for THE OLD OAK 2023 Nominee Palme d’Or

    Graeme Tuckett Stuff-Waikato Times, 4/5 Stars “Ken Loach’s swansong is gorgeous, flawed, relatable and unmissable as ever.”

    THE OLD OAK is a special place. Not only is it the last pub standing, but it’s also the only remaining public space where people can meet in a once thriving community.

    THE OLD OAK is a special place. Not only is it the last pub standing, but it’s also the only remaining public space where people can meet in a once thriving mining community that has now fallen on hard times after 30 years of decline. TJ Ballantyne (Dave Turner) the landlord hangs on to The Old Oak by his fingertips.

    His predicament is endangered even more when the pub becomes contested territory after the arrival of Syrian refugees who are placed in the village without any notice. In an unlikely friendship TJ meets a curious young Syrian Yara [Ebla Mari] with her camera. Can they find a way for the two communities to understand each other? So unfolds a deeply moving drama about their fragilities and hopes.

    Director: Ken Loach
