Hot off the press, in black and white – you need a copy of this detailed programme for the Raglan Film Festival 2010, screening at the Old School Arts Centre, starting this week. There really does seem to be something for everyone again this year, whether you are a film buff or not.
Adrenaline freaks see – ‘Last Paradise’ Clive Neeson’s collection of 45 years filming adventure sports out in the remote wilderness of NZ, a true eco adventure; then there is ‘The Asgard Project’ following climbers on the first free ascent of Mt Asgard’s daunting north face, regarded as one of the world’s most difficult big walls. Like a powerful crime drama – don’t miss ‘Animal Kingdom’ deep in the Melbourne underworld, were ordinary lives are caught in the midst of the tense struggle between a criminal family and the police. Offering wide appeal – ‘Cool Summer Tour with Cornerstone Roots’ a documentary that follows our local band on tour from behind the scenes and onto the stage, directed by Maryann Tuao. On a lighter note, there is the crime comedy ‘Predicament’ set in small town NZ during the 1930’s.
Especially for the children this year there are two movies ‘The Wonderful world of 2D Classical Animation’ and ‘The Magical 3D reality in Animation’ OK, movie buffs and Art devotees, your must see is ‘Exit through the Gift Shop’ an 87 minute movie about the true story of how the world’s greatest Street Art movie was never made. Now I bet that has you thinking, so make sure to be at the screening of this movie with exclusive footage of the world’s most infamous graffiti artists. All up the 2010 programme includes wonderful full length films for everyone, plus a great selection of shorts, those amazing little movies that last a just few minutes, with a long lasting impression. Congratulations to Jacqueline Anderson at the Old School Arts Centre for doing such a wonderful job in sourcing and selecting the films, spending many hours on the web looking at synopses and reviews. Hire costs of movies vary widely, so the aim has been to keep ticket prices affordable without sacrificing quality and your interest. Printed copies of the programme are available at the Old School, the Information Centre and selected businesses and shops or can be downloaded from the website: www.raglanartscentre.co.nz
Three local karate enthusiasts have more sporting successes under their belts after they came away with second and third placings recently from the All NZ Open Kyokushin-Kai Karate Nationals held at Hamilton Boys High – a good result which saw all the Raglan students “step up”, says teacher and black belt Pablo Rickard. Tournament first-timer Eddie Young, 14, who’s been a keen karate kid since the age of six and came second in the under-16s division, is especially pleased with his progress and reckons he’ll “hopefully” get the title next year. The discipline, he says, helps keep him fit for a range of other sports from soccer and skateboarding to surf lifesaving and Raglan’s new multi-sport events. Meanwhile for Ra Higgins,18, who was placed third in the open men’s lightweight division, it was another success to add to the title he took out at the national kyokushin karate championships in Wanganui earlier this year. Craig Murray too was fighting all grades and placed third in the open men’s middleweight division. Like Ra, he had also done well at the national champs in Wanganui where he was up against top fighters in the open division. Locals Joanne Green and Wayne Newman had less luck in the latest tournament, which attracted a large mix of competitors from New Zealand and Australia. An injury forced Jo out of the women’s open lightweight, while Wayne was fighting fit in the men’s open heavyweights until a foul saw him miss out on a placing. Edith Symes

There were all kinds of items and services to bid on – all generously contributed by Raglan artists, businesses and individuals – and all the bidding was done by writing your designated bidding number onto the sheet next to the item you wanted. Even
though the auction was ‘silent’, it did get quite competitive and noisy in some parts of the hall, as bidders watched the bids on their desired item rise. The Very Hungry Caterpillar story was performed by the tamariki of Raglan Kindergarten, followed by a couple of songs performed for the parents and whānau who came to watch. There were professional services, clothes, beauty products, housewares, vouchers for accommodation

and for a range of adventure experiences. The support from the Raglan Community and beyond was overwhelming – we also had many of our parents and whānau working hard at the hall all day and on the night as well. We made a profit of over $3000 – a great big step towards our goal of building a tree house for our tamariki. Many, many thanks to everyone who supported this event. Kia Ora Koutou Katoa!
