The film night for Thursday 4th September for WFS will be in the Capitaine Bougainville Theatre at Forum North, 7 Rust Ave Whangarei.
At 6pm, WFS will screen the classic French comedy, Riviera Revenge.
Our 8pm screening is the documentary Mozart's Sister which explores the dazzling talent and career of Maria-Anna Mozart, the older sister of Wolfgang.
RIVIERA REVENGE
France, comedy (subtitles), 2024
94 mins, Rated M (strong language)
Cast: André Dussollier, Sabine Azéma
Ex French general François and his wife, Annie have been married for five decades and are enjoying all the perks of retirement.
François is tidying the attic one day, only to find love letters from Annie's secret affair with a man called Boris from 40 years ago.
Does François turn the other cheek and celebrate their 50 years of being together, or does he use his espionage skills to track down Annie's former lover?
Hell-bent on justice, François scours the Côte-d'Azur, determined to confront Boris, even if it means losing what he holds most dear in the process. It’s vengeance but it's French Riviera-style - with stunning backdrops and a whole lot of heart.
" A comedy anchored by two veterans of French cinema who know how to tease out every nuance of love, regret, passion and humour ." - Irresistible magazine

‘Tis the season to not get scammed ...
As Christmas gift shopping moves increasingly online, scammers are ramping up their activity across the country.
Dunedin’s Investigation Support Unit is seeing more and more people fall victim to scams and other fraudulent activity, particularly on Facebook Marketplace.
There are a few ways to avoid the scams and keep yourself safe doing online trades this holiday season, says Southern District Service Delivery Manager Senior Sergeant Dalton.
🔒 “A good first step when looking to purchase something on Marketplace is to check when the seller’s Facebook profile was created. If it’s very recent, there is a higher risk that they have just created this account for a one-off fake item.”
🔒 Another important step is to make sure the seller’s profile name and bank account name match up. “We’re seeing a lot of scammers claiming their bank account name is different because it belongs to their partner or family member - that’s a huge red flag."
🔒 “When you’re selling, never trust a screenshot anyone sends you showing that payment has been made. Check your own bank account to make sure a payment has gone through."
🔒 “Quite frankly, it’s best for all parties to agree to pay, or be paid, for items in cash and in-person. Ideally in a public place with CCTV coverage."
🔒 "If you’re buying a car, check Carjam.co.nz to see if it’s stolen or if there’s money owed on it.”
A reminder: Suspicious activity can be reported on 105
