We’re very luckily covid free here, but need to check in on the Covid tracing app, use sanitizer, wear masks and sit in designated, socially distanced seats in the cinema. HOTA ( Home Of The Arts) generally has more art-house films & the Gold Coast Film Festival starts this week, so I’ll be spending quite a bit of time there. I’m lucky to have a good, small complex just 10 mins drive from my new home. The same cinema has been doing drive-in films lately, and this coming weekend there will be screenings of “Wolfwalkers”, an animated film by the same group that did the brilliant “The Secret Of Kells” some time back.
