Good People

On TUESDAY the 8th October at 6pm, WFS will be screening the fascinating sailing documentary, Philosopher of the Sea.

This is a multi award-winning documentary and the FIRST TIME it has been screened in New Zealand.

Our 8pm screening will be the French comedy, The Crime is Mine.

PHILOSOPHER OF THE SEA
Sweden, 2023, Documentary, Rated G

"Simple habits. Simple boat." - Sven Yrvind

This multi award-winning film shines a light on the Swedish boat designer, builder and sailor, Sven Yrvind. During his life, he has become a world-renowned figure for his solo voyages across oceans.

Now 83, Sven has, for the last five years, been building a boat for a solo journey spanning 15,000 miles from Ireland to New Zealand. It is estimated to take 300 days.

But for Sven, the real exploration of this journey is of a much deeper nature; about how people choose to live their lives.

Showing at Forum North, 7 Rust Ave Whangarei on Tuesday 8th October at 6pm as part of the Whangarei 2024 Maritime Festival.
