May 3, Jun 1 Movie – THE CORRESPONDENT
Based on the incredible true story of Australian war correspondent Peter Greste’s arrest and imprisonment in Egypt in 2013, THE CORRESPONDENT is a gripping thriller.
“If you know Greste’s story you will know what happens. Even so, you will feel the close-quarters tension of this Kafkaesque story of a man put in jail, and then in front of a kangaroo court, for doing his job.” 4/5 Stars Stephen Romei, The Australian

Three women ignite the flames of curiosity and adventure which lay dormant within so many of us, by deepening our understanding of the synergy between nature and humanity—and by doing so radically, through a voyage across the North Atlantic.
Women and the Wind is a project aimed at igniting the flames of curiosity and adventure which lay dormant within so many of us, by deepening our understanding of the synergy between nature and humanity—and by doing so radically. This project is led by a group of women and realized through a voyage across the North Atlantic on Mara Noka, a 50-year-old wooden catamaran based on a polynesian ocean-going double canoe.
Though the initial intention of the film was to focus mainly on telling this story of plastic, the voyage took on a much more personal tone as the days progressed. The women were then faced with the reality of life at sea aboard a boat, for 30 days, with no space from each other or themselves. Calms and tempests reflected their own inner workings, and an entire moon’s cycle on the ocean brought their femininity to the forefront. They experienced their fragility and their strengths with an intensity that is unmatched, transforming this film into an intimate portrayal of woman and nature.

Bob Dylan – He defied everyone to change everything.

“But, what is here is still mostly excellent. The staging is gorgeous, the performances are exceptional and the writing never blunders by trying to explain Dylan or pin him down.” – 4.0/5 Stars Graeme Tuckett, Stuff/ Waikato Times
