LIVING IN OBLIVION (1995)

Tuesday, 25 Feb
Doors at 5:30pm
Show at 6:30pm
$15 CASH ONLY

A hilarious take on the behind the scenes dramas during the production of a low budget independent film where just about everything that can go wrong does go wrong. Steve Buscemi is at his finest as the exasperated director. The film is divided into three parts, and is shot on three different cameras with different film grades (some colour, two in black and white). The film won the Waldo Salt Screenwriting Award at the 1995 Sundance Film Festival for DiCillo. It received critical acclaim. - A guaranteed good time!

Neneh Superstar

Rating: M - Offensive language

Running time: 1hr 35mins

STARTING 20 FEB

Directed by Ramzi Ben Sliman

Set within the Paris Opera Ballet School, one of France’s most prestigious cultural institutions, this inspiring film will resonate with anyone who has ever refused to compromise their dreams. 12-year-old ballet dancer Neneh discovers that her extraordinary natural talent may not be enough to win the approval of the school’s harsh and discriminatory headmistress. Not only is Neneh from a socially disadvantaged background, but she is also black, challenging the longstanding dominance of white dancers in classical ballet. This glorious celebration of talent is a charming must-see for all.

Lee

Rating: M - M, Holocaust imagery, sexual violence references & offensive language

Running time: 1hr 57mins

STARTING 5 FEB

Directed by Ellen Kuras

Oscar winner Kate Winslet stars in this fascinating portrait of the great American war correspondent Elizabeth "Lee" Miller, whose singular talent and ferocious tenacity gave us some of the 20th century’s most indelible images. After a career as a fashion model and muse to Man Ray, Lee moved to Paris to study photography just as WW2 broke out. As a middle-aged woman, she refused to simply be remembered as a model and muse so she defied social expectations and travelled Europe, reporting from the frontline and became an acclaimed war correspondent for Vogue magazine during World War II. Her work changed war photography forever, but Lee paid a huge personal price for the stories she fought so hard to tell.

“Spellbinding. Captivating, provocative and engrossing” -NYC Movie Guru

"A resoundingly compelling docudrama of a photographer who captured some of the most impactful and harrowing images of the worst war on record, and there is no actor better suited to recapture her presence than Kate Winslet." -The Hollywood Outsider

“A well-crafted, visually-striking biopic that is moving in its depiction of the atrocities of World War II” -LA Weekly

The Haka Party Incident

Rating: Exempt

Running time: 1hr 30mins

STARTING 30 JANUARY

Directed by Katie Wolfe

A film about the most important three minutes in Aotearoa’s history. On May 1st, 1979, a group of young Māori and Pasifika activists, He Taua, confronted a gathering of University of Auckland engineering students as they rehearsed their ‘mock’ haka. The fracas that followed prompted the nation to confront systemic racism and make change for a better and more equal partnership between Pākehā and Māori. Although the aftermath of the clash changed race relations in Aotearoa forever, the incident itself was quickly forgotten. Until now…

"The Haka Party Incident was rescued from historical oblivion by writer and filmmaker Katie Wolfe – originally as a play commissioned by Auckland Theatre Company and first staged in 2021." (Whānau Mārama: New Zealand International Film Festival)

The film cleverly intertwines multiple interviews from both sides of the confrontation, both recent and from around the time of the incident.
