About

The short film Still Life 2001 (11 mins) directed by Sima Urale will screen on loop in Cinema B on Sundays from 11.00am – 12.00pm until 18 December 2022.

Award-winning New Zealand filmmaker Sima Urale creates films that tell deeply moving personal stories, often from an outside point of view.

Still Life portrays an elderly Pākehā couple confronted by the daily struggles of illness and aging. After refusing to move into aged care following a long and tiresome battle with illness, husband Norm (John Hancox) and his ailing wife Margaret (June Bishop) make the ultimate choice to follow love into eternity.
