Mar 3: BORROMINI & BERNINI – the challenge for perfection
NARRATED IN ENGLISH by Remo Anzovino
This is the story of the most famous artistic rivalry of all time, the one between Borromini and Bernini, but also the story of Borromini’s rivalry with himself: a genius so absorbed by his art that he turns it into a demon that devours him from the inside forcing him to choose death to reach eternity.

Apr: 6, 7: THE CONVERT
A Fight for Peace. A Heart at War.
The Playlist “A Stunning, Sweeping, Action-Packed Epic.”
An action-packed work of historical fiction that premiered at TIFF 2023 by Director Lee Tamahori. New Zealand release March 14 2024.
With Raglan actor Antonio Te Maioha (Spartacus, Zoolander 2) and starring Guy Pearce (Animal Kingdom)
The Post, Graeme Tuckett 3.5/5 “As Munro, Maiainui and Akatārawa, Guy Pearce, Antonio Te Maioha (Spartacus: Blood and Sand) and Lawrence Makoare (The Dead Lands) are uniformly terrific, with Te Maioha and Makoare sketching in some history between the warring chiefs that perhaps only existed in the script in the white spaces between the written dialogue.
Tioreore Ngātai-Melbourne (Cousins) has been a highlight of every film she has appeared in and she carries on the good work here as Maiainui’s daughter Rangimai. Aussie veteran Jacqueline McKenzie is reliably superb as Charlotte.”
A lay preacher arrives at a British settlement in the 1830s. His violent past is soon drawn into question and his faith put to the test, as he finds himself caught in the middle of a bloody war between Maori tribes. Based on the book Wulf by Hamish Clayton.

New Zealand in the 1830s is a largely Māori world, dominated by tribal wars. Seeking redemption from a dark past, lay preacher Thomas Munro (GUY PEARCE) is on board a trading vessel heading to the newly established town of Epworth, a British settlement at the far corner of the world. When the ship anchors on the rugged coast of New Zealand, Munro finds himself caught up in a battle between Māori tribes and witnesses a slaughter of innocents at the hands of chief Akatarawa. Munro manages to save the life of Rangimai — the daughter of Maianui, a rival chief whose land Epworth leases in a delicate arrangement.
As Munro begins to experience the white townsfolk’s entrenched racism and paranoia towards the Māori, he finds himself increasingly ostracized within the community he is meant to serve and realizes he has been brought to this isolated British outpost merely to add the veneer of civilization. When one of Maianui’s men is murdered under mysterious circumstances, Munro and Rangimai take a dangerous journey into the prohibited lands ruled by Māori warlords, in the hope of repairing the injustice. However, Munro soon realizes he is a pawn in a strategic play of power, and with bloody war between the two dominant tribes now inevitable, he must decide what role he will play and whether his faith is real, or of any value.
