Friday 10 March is now when we will be holding our first 2023 film evening in Central Hawkes Bay. We have chosen a summer themed film
À l'abordage - All Aboard (2021)An unlikely oddball trio bond during an impromptu trip to the French countryside on a foolhardy romantic mission. Un trio improbable part en voyage improvisé dans la campagne française pour une mission romantique imprudente. Once again suggested $10 koha with any profits going to the Food Basket CHB. A mix of Indonesian & kiwi cuisine will be our Food Truck so you can buy dinner! No pre-ordering required! The truck will sell food before the film and during the intermission. |
"This beguiling little charmer of a film is not so much about big romantic gestures, but rather the small, delicately observed moments of connection." - Screen International
Food Truck: Indolicious |
