The big movies of the year, Barbie, Oppenheimer, Mission Impossible are out now (or soon) and the BBC has teamed up with the Open University in the UK to advocate seeing these films in the cinema. The essential argument is that we are social creatures and it's far better for us to be with other people even if they are loudly scraping popcorn out of a box. It is good for the body and the soul. Sarah McMullan is familiar to the RNZ audience. She watches a lot of films and writes about some of them.

This year's International Film Festival seems to have had more twists and turns than a French film-maker's plot. Even without the surprise resignation of festival director, Marten Rabarts, announced while the event was in full swing, it had more than its share of challenges.

Sarah McMullan, a film reviewer and a keen international festival watcher spoke to Morning Report's Susie Ferguson.
