We will be donating 50% of ticket sales to PAHU BARK as a tribute to Sam Neill. He was an avid animal lover and advocate for the protection of Aotearoa's wilderness. We feel that he would really love this! A film by Taika Waititi. Based on the book Wild Pork and Watercress by Barry Crump, Hunt for the Wilderpeople tells the story of Ricky (Julian Dennison), a defiant young city kid who finds himself on the run with his cantankerous foster uncle (Sam Neill) in the New Zealand bush. A national manhunt ensues, forcing the pair to put aside their differences and work together. "A film like this should be a communal experience [in a cinema]." - Sam Neill "It's like a little joy bomb." - Taika Waititi *Pahu Bark is a nonprofit based in Ferry Landing, New Zealand. Dedicated to helping dogs. The founder also trains her own pound rescues in conservation mahi. They organise weekly micro-donations to support various animal rescues across the country.

An insurance investigator begins discovering that the impact a horror writer's books have on his fans is more than inspirational. John Carpenter again drews on cosmic horror traditions, like he did for The Thing and Prince of Darkness, but ramps up the metatextual to great effect. "Carpenter's work with music and sound design has never been so radical and the film's set pieces are breathtakingly executed." - The Age

Experience one of the biggest films in motion picture history with director Steven Spielberg’s ultimate thrill ride, Jurassic Park. Featuring Academy Award®-winning visual effects and ground-breaking filmmaking that has been hailed as “a triumph of special effects artistry” (Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times), this epic film is sheer movie-making magic that was 65 million years in the making. Any list reflecting on the career of Sam Neill will have to begin with his iconic performance as paleontologist Dr. Alan Grant in Steven Spielberg’s Jurassic Park. The story goes that given the expense of the ground-breaking CGI used in the film, producers were looking to hire a relatively unknown (to summer blockbuster audiences, that is) actor for the role of Grant, with Neill winning the part. Playing Grant, arguably, was not much of a stretch for Neill who made his name playing complex characters in arthouse cinema, but he nailed Grant’s outward stiff academic countenance and how that man would deal with the frightening ordeal of being chased by raptors (his life’s work, lest we forget!). COME EARLY! Doors 2:30pm, pre-show 3pm

Something is wrong with Anna (Isabelle Adjani). Having taken a lover, she abruptly asks her husband, Mark (Sam Neill), for divorce. He's desperate for an explanation, but Anna's answers are elusive at best. She's in crisis – becoming emotional, avoidant, self-harming, and neglectful of their son. Mark has no idea, but behind her increasingly erratic behavior is a monstrous secret. The films of Andrzej Żuławski lie beyond narrative, emotion, and sanity. POSSESSION is a raw depiction of the monstrosity of marital strife and the fear of female sexuality. A Hollywood favorite combining existential dread with doppelgangers, blood, and body horror, POSSESSION is truly one of a kind. COME EARLY! Doors open one hour before advertised start time.

50% of the proceeds will be donated to the NZ Nature Fund in Sir Sam Neill's honour. Sleeping Dogs, the film that launched Neill’s career, was also the first feature-length movie shot on 35mm produced entirely in New Zealand. Roger Donaldson’s action thriller, that takes place in an imaginary New Zealand suffering civil unrest, has a litany of reasons for why it is one of the most important Kiwi films ever made, but Neill’s performance as the rebellious Smith, who fights back against fascist forces looking to take over his country, earned rave notices from critics. Recluse Smith is drawn into a revolutionary struggle between guerrillas and right-wingers in New Zealand. Implicated in a murder and framed as a revolutionary conspirator, Smith tries to maintain an attitude of non-violence while caught between warring factions.
