Waiheke Spiritual Cinema Circle is a group of people who get together every month for an offering of films from all over the world that explore the questions of who we are, why we're here and where we're going with a focus on inspiring, enthusing and entertaining you — and fundraising for Island causes at the same time.
Spiritual Cinema evenings are held on the last Wednesday of each month at Waiheke Community Cinema and are sponsored by Waiheke Wellness and by the Cinema. Entry is by donation ($10 suggested) or by koha, and proceeds go to a different community group every month. Screenings are restricted to Cinema Circle members; you can join at the door (annual sub of $2).
October's films:
Amy Goes to Wadjemup Island: When Amy visits her grandmother on a remote Australian island, she learns about mystical creatures and about her culture’s cruel past. A lesson in colonialism is mixed with the ancient wisdom of the aboriginal people in this enlightening family film. [8m]
Dorme: A little boy falls asleep and dreams the most wonderful dream in this award-winning fantasy short. Where do our spirits go when we sleep? Filled with one beautiful, symbolic image after another, see if you can follow a child’s inner journey as he travels through the magical landscape of the mind. [7m]
Lucky Boy: This short documentary follows the exploration of a college student searching for his birth mother. Shot in an intimate way, the suspense builds as we accompany him on his journey--with extraordinary results! [12m]
Personal Spectator: Perhaps all we need is an audience to be as fabulous as we can be. An unsuspecting (and somewhat un-fabulous) woman is approached by a man who is ready and willing to be her personal audience. Is this a come on, or could “being seen” really be transformational? [15m]
Eve and the Fire Horse: Two sisters growing up in a Chinese family in Canada attempt to understand religion from a uniquely childlike perspective. Picking and choosing their favorite parts of each religion, they form their own faith — and then face the challenge of forging a place for this faith within their traditional Buddhist family. An incredible spiritual journey into the heart and soul of what religion is and what religion does for each of us on our own individual journeys. [93m]
