cars getting smashed up. oh yeah.
A remind­er that the Film Archive’s Media Theatre has a couple more scree­ings of the excel­lent Kaikohe Demoli­tion doc­u­ment­ary later this week, on Sat­urday 14 May at 6pm and 7:30pm.

…[A] doc­u­ment­ary by intrep­id New Zea­l­and film­maker Flori­an Habicht cap­tures the grace­ful­ness and poetry of demoli­tion derbies. Ah, yes: there is a harsh, strangely lyr­ic­al beauty to be found at the speed­way: the mangling impacts and hoick­ing engines; the expert hoons clustered ’round raised hoods; the lone girl stand­ing at a wire mesh fence, sol­emnly lick­ing an ice cream as she watches the carnage in the mud. Such is the beauty of Flori­an Habicht’s doc­u­ment­ary.

Entry is $8, or $6 for those eli­gible for a con­ces­sion.
