    Category: Movies Movie- WARU (8.00pm)


    October 19, 2017

    HOLLYWOOD REPORTER  "A fascinating glimpse into New Zealand's contemporary Maori community, Waru brings a sense of dramatic, urgent realism to a story that plays out like a suspenseful mystery."

    Official Selection 2017 Toronto Film Festival.

    Official Selection 2017 NZ International Film Festival.

    Eight female Māori directors have each contributed a ten minute vignette, presented as a continuous shot in real time, that unfolds around the tangi (funeral) of a small boy (Waru) who died at the hands of his caregiver. The vignettes are all subtly interlinked and each follow one of eight female Māori lead characters during the same moment in time as they come to terms with Waru's death and try to find a way forward in their community. In Māori, waru means 8.

    David Four singing and on piano.

    Four of his albums sold gold status, and he has traveled all over the world. Everywhere he goes people always asked him to sing their favourite songs. So he decided to record an album with most of the songs that people had asked him to sing over the years for him to sing.

    The album is "Per Request" and it is songs of Chris de Burg, Jhon Lennon and Chris Isaak. He also play piano and it is one amazing show. The show is also called David Four - Per Request. It is really amazing. We did the show about 2 years ago in Hamilton and there was about 200 people.

    $15 on the door. Cash bar and refreshments.
