    October 1, 2021 October 25, 2021

    The Raglan Arts Weekend (RAW) kicks off on Friday 1 October with the opening of the Preview Exhibition at the Old School Arts Centre, 5 Stewart Street, Raglan, with 84 artworks from participating RAW artists. A showcase piece and a small 300x300 by each artist are on display and for sale. Interested folk need to be on the ball to secure popular artworks.

    This year, the showcase artworks have been developed to the theme: And Then We Paused/ Reflections of a Covid World. "The theme was decided upon pre-Delta, when NZ was largely Covid-free after the first lockdown,” RAW co-ordinator Nicky Brzeska says. “It’s even more appropriate now with the current state of affairs, and we know it will resonate with a lot of people who are keen to get an artwork that illustrates this complex snapshot in time.”

    The Preview Exhibition is open every day from 10am-2pm until 25 October 2021 (including weekends). RAW artists' studios will be open 10am until 5pm over Labour Weekend, 23-25 October 2021. RAW Arts Guides with the trail maps available at the Preview Exhibition.

    Movie- THE MOLE AGENT (8.00pm)

    Category: Movies Movie- THE MOLE AGENT (8.00pm)


    October 2, 2021

    It's never too late... to become a spy.
    Nominated for Best Documentary Feature at the 2021 Academy Awards, this Chilean film follows an 83-year-old man who agrees to be a mole planted within a retirement home under suspicion of elder abuse. However, the mole starts to waver from his task when he becomes wrapped up in the lives of his fellow residents.
    Sergio is a Chilean spy. Sort of. He is recruited by a private investigator who needs someone to infiltrate a retirement home for a client who suspects her mother is being abused. However, Sergio is 83, not 007, and not an easy trainee when it comes to technology and espionage. But he is a keen student, looking for ways to distract himself after recently losing his wife. While gathering intelligence, Sergio grows close to several residents and realises that the menacing truth beneath the surface is not what anyone suspected. THE MOLE AGENT is a stylish combination of observational documentary and a hilarious and heart-warming spy movie. A unique meditation on compassion and loneliness that will infiltrate your heart and never let go.
    Director: Maite Alberdi ('The Grown-Ups', 'La Once')
    Writer: Maite Alberdi
    Cast: Sergio Chamy, Rómulo Aitken
