Jen Shieff NZ Herald - MUST SEE "Mature audiences of all ages will find Allelujah an important, eye-opening film. It tells a good story too, culminating in something truly startling. Excellent film-making."
Based on the Play by ALAN BENNETT
Jennifer Saunders stars in ALLELUJAH, a Yorkshire-set drama. The threatened closure of a geriatric ward in a small Yorkshire hospital stirs an uprising from the local community, who invite a news crew to film preparations for a concert in honour of the hospital’s most distinguished nurse.
The film is a warm, humorous, and deeply moving story about surviving old age. ALLELUJAH celebrates the spirit of the elderly patients whilst paying tribute to the deep humanity of the medical staff battling with limited resources and ever-growing demand.

Stuff/ Waikato Times - Graeme Tuckett 4 / 5 Stars: "has some insights to share, that no Shackleton film has maybe ever quite captured before"
 The incredible true story, SHACKLETON: THE GREATEST STORY OF SURVIVAL traces the expedition of Sir Ernest Shackleton, one of the world’s greatest explorers. He set off in the Endurance with a crew of 28 to attempt the first crossing of Antarctica. Their journey has since become known as one of the most miraculous survival stories ever told.
SHACKLETON features re-mastered footage captured from the 1914 expedition, as well as stunning high definition imagery of adventurer Tim Jarvis repeating their feat (the only man ever to do so).

James Croot Waikato Times/ Stuff 4/5 Stars "A surprisingly subtle, sweet and absorbing drama whose fractured narrative and melodramatic backstory might not initially appeal to all, but will eventually win you over." When taxi driver Charles reluctantly takes on an early-morning booking, he begins to regret his decision even more so when a cantankerous old woman, Madeleine is waiting begrudgingly at the pickup point. As the journey unfolds, so does the story of Madeleine's long and eventful life - guiding the audience through her most monumental experiences, from romance to earth-shattering heartbreak. Described by Renaud, as "the most beautiful film of my life," rediscover the power of the kindness of strangers in Christian Carion's latest cheerful, heart-warmer.

Hard work and big ideas aren't enough
Francesca Rudkin Newstalk “Uplifting & heartwarming” & “A wonderful ride”
Based on a true story, French comedy Country Cabaret has been a hit at this year's L'OR French Film Festival Aotearoa
David's dairy farm is on the brink of liquidation. When he chances upon a dazzling nightclub performance by Bonnie Starlight, inspiration strikes. What if he turned his big old barn into a country cabaret? Not just for entertainment, but to promote local food producers, including his mother's delicious cheese. A crazy plan, for sure - which is exactly why he loves it!
David has to convince sophisticated “City Girl” Bonnie to live in a converted barn loft out in the middle of nowhere and work around the clock to make a great show out of nothing. Finding local talent is no small feat either, but together they manage to assemble a zany cast of characters and create a troupe. Through blood sweat and tears, and a whole lot of laughs, they not only build a great stage and get their act together, they also learn a thing or two about themselves and each other.
Everything seems on track for the big opening night, until David's traditionalist grandpa steps in, hell-bent on putting an end to their follies. Can they save the show and save the farm?

Sorry 8pm session on 15th July cancelled as we don't have enough volunteers.
It’s never too late to love.
Waikato Times/ Stuff Graeme Tuckett 4/5 stars "Smart and insightful, Sailor is a winner."
Irish Times 4/5 stars "It would not ... be right to describe My Sailor, My Love as any sort of soapy romance. Jimmy Karlsson and Kirsi Vikman’s screenplay fleshes out a cluster of circling characters with great incisiveness."
The Guardian 3/5 stars "Beautifully nuanced performances underpin an interesting drama that evolves from late-life romance into study of family trauma across generations."
My Sailor My Love
Howard, an unwillingly retired sea captain, withers in his isolation. When his daughter Grace hires Annie as housekeeper, he reacts with contempt and fires her as soon as he gets the chance. But realizing he misbehaved, he asks her to come back. Annie demands his respect and starts visiting Howard regularly. Howard becomes devoted to Annie’s family - with a new positive and caring attitude. He has fallen in love.
 Howard and Annie making off - My Sailor My Love
When Grace comes visiting over Christmas she finds that Annie lives there and has invited her entire family to celebrate. Grace burst into tears. How dare Howard open his home to these strangers while pushing away his own daughter? Grace gets a job in the town and wants to move in with her father. But he refuses. Grace writes a letter to Annie, telling her Howard is just using her for egotistic reasons.
Howard is not the person Annie thinks he is. Now Annie doesn’t know what to believe. Grace orders Annie to leave Howard. Grace moves in with Howard to take care of him. She seeks reconciliation but Howard rejects her. Desperately he tries to contact Annie, but in vain. Finally, he tries to run away but is struck with a stroke. He is bedridden in the elderly home. Annie visits and they confirm their true love for each other. When Howard dies, Grace arrives too late to be there with him. Grace is now completely alone and grieving in the country house. When she finally calls Annie to thank her for being with Howard, she breaks down, realizing she could never reclaim Howards’ love and affection. She pulls herself together and leaves the house for a new beginning.

It’s never too late to love.
Waikato Times/ Stuff Graeme Tuckett 4/5 stars "Smart and insightful, Sailor is a winner."
Irish Times 4/5 stars "It would not ... be right to describe My Sailor, My Love as any sort of soapy romance. Jimmy Karlsson and Kirsi Vikman’s screenplay fleshes out a cluster of circling characters with great incisiveness."
The Guardian 3/5 stars "Beautifully nuanced performances underpin an interesting drama that evolves from late-life romance into study of family trauma across generations."
My Sailor My Love
Howard, an unwillingly retired sea captain, withers in his isolation. When his daughter Grace hires Annie as housekeeper, he reacts with contempt and fires her as soon as he gets the chance. But realizing he misbehaved, he asks her to come back. Annie demands his respect and starts visiting Howard regularly. Howard becomes devoted to Annie’s family - with a new positive and caring attitude. He has fallen in love.
Howard and Annie making off - My Sailor My Love
When Grace comes visiting over Christmas she finds that Annie lives there and has invited her entire family to celebrate. Grace burst into tears. How dare Howard open his home to these strangers while pushing away his own daughter? Grace gets a job in the town and wants to move in with her father. But he refuses. Grace writes a letter to Annie, telling her Howard is just using her for egotistic reasons.
Howard is not the person Annie thinks he is. Now Annie doesn’t know what to believe. Grace orders Annie to leave Howard. Grace moves in with Howard to take care of him. She seeks reconciliation but Howard rejects her. Desperately he tries to contact Annie, but in vain. Finally, he tries to run away but is struck with a stroke. He is bedridden in the elderly home. Annie visits and they confirm their true love for each other. When Howard dies, Grace arrives too late to be there with him. Grace is now completely alone and grieving in the country house. When she finally calls Annie to thank her for being with Howard, she breaks down, realizing she could never reclaim Howards’ love and affection. She pulls herself together and leaves the house for a new beginning.

Swellnet Stu Nettle "The surfing sequences, especially at the left, have gotta be seen in the context of discovery; of disappearing over the frontier, far from comfort or help. Many waves are repeated, filmed from two angles, which betrays a low wave count, but also the difficulties faced - every wave was a victory of sorts."
 Follow filmmakers Spencer Frost and Guy Williment and surfers Letty Mortenson and Fraser Dovell as they journey to Kamchatka in the far east of Russia in search of new waves along the frozen, unexplored coastline.
Bordered by the Pacific Ocean and the Sea of Okhotsk with more than 150 volcanoes (29 active) the Kamchatka Peninsula in Far Eastern Russia is as remote as it is unique. After two years of planning the trip was almost over before it started. An hour before boarding their flight to Moscow, Russia invaded Ukraine. At a time when the world was seeing the worst of human nature, these guys flew behind the iron curtain and found, to their surprise the best of it. Mi-8 helicopters, skidoos, frozen campsites, and frozen bank accounts, this surf trip quickly became far more than anyone could imagine.

Hard work and big ideas aren't enough
Francesca Rudkin Newstalk “Uplifting & heartwarming” & “A wonderful ride”
Based on a true story, French comedy Country Cabaret has been a hit at this year's L'OR French Film Festival Aotearoa
David's dairy farm is on the brink of liquidation. When he chances upon a dazzling nightclub performance by Bonnie Starlight, inspiration strikes. What if he turned his big old barn into a country cabaret? Not just for entertainment, but to promote local food producers, including his mother's delicious cheese. A crazy plan, for sure - which is exactly why he loves it!
David has to convince sophisticated “City Girl” Bonnie to live in a converted barn loft out in the middle of nowhere and work around the clock to make a great show out of nothing. Finding local talent is no small feat either, but together they manage to assemble a zany cast of characters and create a troupe. Through blood sweat and tears, and a whole lot of laughs, they not only build a great stage and get their act together, they also learn a thing or two about themselves and each other.
Everything seems on track for the big opening night, until David's traditionalist grandpa steps in, hell-bent on putting an end to their follies. Can they save the show and save the farm?
