Dec 2-3: Movies at the Old School- KEDI, BAD MOMS 2, NO ORDINARY SHEILA, I AM NOT YOUR NEGRO

Raglan Movies at the Old School has four movies screening this weekend:

KEDI (Kitty) is screening of Saturday 2nd at 6.30pm and Sunday 3rd at 4.30pm. Listed on Vogue’s list of the best documentaries of all time.

Stuff 4 Stars: “Documentarian Ceda Torun’s feature-length debut is far more likely to be catnip for feline lovers. Dedicated to the moggies of Istanbul and the people who love and care for them, it showcases an eclectic collection of kedi (Turkish for cat).”

BAD MOMS 2 is on Saturday 2nd at 8.15pm for a final Raglan screening.

The Bad Moms are back. Amy (Kunis), Carla (Hahn) and Kiki (Bell) struggle to cope when their respective mothers visit for Christmas.

NO ORDINARY SHEILA is on Saturday 2nd at 4.00pm.

NZ Herald 3.5/5 Stars “Shelia is the star of the show. The tenacity with which she’s explored her many passions and interests, generous spirit and lovely sense of humour, will leave you inspired, uplifted and probably moved.”

I AM NOT YOUR NEGRO is back for an encore screening on Sunday 3rd at 7.00pm.

“I Am Not Your Negro is a thrilling introduction to James Baldwin’s work, a remedial course in American history, and an advanced seminar in racial politics – a concise, roughly 90-minute movie with the scope and impact of a 10-hour mini-series or a literary doorstop.” — A.O. Scott, NY Times

The NZ International Film Festival selection KEDI will be screening at the Old School Arts Centre on 2nd and 3rd December. The documentary profiles the life of seven of the thousands of cats that roam Istanbul, each neither tame nor wild. The cinematographers take their cameras down low and up high to capture the day-to-day life of cats in this beautiful historic city.Raglan Movies at the Old School: KEDI (G)

Encore screening of I AM NOT YOUR NEGRO– Sunday 3rd at 7.00pm.This Oscar-nominated documentary draws an astonishing, challenging and utterly contemporary examination of race in the United States entirely from the writings and interview footage of civil rights icon James Baldwin.“Whatever you think about the past and future of what used to be called ‘race relations’ – white supremacy and the resistance to it, in plainer English – this movie will make you think again, and may even change your mind. Though its principal figure, the novelist, playwright and essayist James Baldwin, is a man who has been dead for nearly 30 years, you would be hard-pressed to find a movie that speaks to the present moment with greater clarity and force, insisting on uncomfortable truths and drawing stark lessons from the shadows of history.

One of the 10 best films of the year.” -New York Times
