Our 8pm session will be the Italian comedy/drama, Pinocchio.

Please show courtesy to others by practicing social distancing within the venue, particularly around the bar and food areas on the mezzanine floor.
PETIT MAMAN
France, 2020 | PG | French language with English subtitles, Drama.
Eight-year-old Nelly is adjusting to the passing of her grandmother and is left to emotionally fend for herself while her grieving mother and gently preoccupied father clean out the late matriarch’s rustic home.
Venturing out into the surrounding forest, Nelly meets same-age Marion who is constructing a tree house. They quickly strike up a friendship and it's not long before Nelly feels this mysterious girl is somehow very familiar.
One of the pleasures of this film is the way it casually introduces a series of strange events as if there were nothing strange about them at all. Petit Mamon is a delicate tale of childhood and an intergenerational connection that crosses through time. - Sight and Sound

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
