Good People

For Thursday, the 6th April at 6pm we are screening the fascinating NZ doco, When the Cows come Home.

Our 8pm screening will be the French film, Full Time which was one of the hits at the NZ International Film Festival last year.

When the Cows Come Home
NZ, 2022, Documentary, 104 mins,

"Cows live in the moment and they remind me to live in the moment."
- Andrew Johnstone

Opening on the Johnstone family farm in Cambridge, we meet Tilly and Maggie, a pair of cows Andrew Johnstone has befriended and subsequently saved from slaughter.

The herdsman is enthusiastic to expound his views on animal husbandry, bovine communication and the vagaries of life in general, before Andrew walks us back through the events that have shaped his life.

From personal family tragedy, to warring with Catholic school authorities; Andrew's life has had a truly idiosyncratic trajectory. Mental health issues may have seen him retreat to life on the farm, but the film makes clear Andrew's restless inquisitiveness is far from being put out to pasture.
