20.01.2022 Weekend Watch - The Farthest - The Voyager Spacecraft It is one of humankind's greatest achievements. More than twelve billion miles away a tiny spaceship is leaving our Solar System and entering the void of deep space - the first human-made object ever to do so. Slowly dying within its heart is a nuclear generator that will beat for perhaps another decade before the lights on Voyager finally go out. But this little craft will travel on for millions of years, carrying a Golde...n Record bearing recordings and images of life on Earth. In all likelihood Voyager will outlive humanity. THE FARTHEST celebrates these magnificent machines, the men and women who built them and the vision that propelled them farther than anyone could ever have hoped. Winner of the Award for Best Feature Documentary at the 2018 Irish Film and Television Awards, and the Suil Eile Award at the Irish Film Festival London.

18.01.2022 Weekend Watch - The Trip to Spain Rob and Steve are back. Six meals in six different places on a road trip through Spain from the North Atlantic to the Mediterranean coast- visiting Cantabria, the Basque region, Aragon, Rioja, Castile La Mancha and ending in Andalucia. Steve, now turned 50, is still chasing love - he wants to get back together with his ex-girlfriend Mischa, but she is with another man. Rob's acting career is going from strength to strength, his family life is... fulfilling - he has had another child since Steve last saw him. Steve has just starred as a chef in a US TV series and is asked to do a set of restaurant reviews in Spain to publicise the show. He is hoping to write an ambitious book based on this trip and his earlier experiences in Spain. He imagines himself in the tradition of writers such as Orwell, Hemingway, and Laurie Lee. After all, Steve is now an Oscar nominated writer. "A gentle, relaxing delight, with just enough uproarious conversation and a touch of regret. In other words, it's a perfect piece of British comedy comfort food." - David Sims, The Atlantic For more information on Kanopy and how to use it go here: https://library.light.sa.gov.au/kanopy/
