Everything To Watch This Winter
Antebellum
Get ready for another freaky horror from the producers of acclaimed films, Get Out and Us, starring musician, actress and all-round entertaining superstar, Janelle Monáe. Monáe plays successful author, Veronica Henley, whose happy life is turned into a horrifying reality, forcing her to fight to unravel the mystery and break free. Looking to be a very confronting watch exploring important social issues, Antebellum is a must-see.

The High Note
If you’re looking for something a little feel-good to pick you up during winter, The High Note may be just the ticket. Following the struggles of an overworked personal assistant to a popular R&B singer, this film has all the romance, conflict and self-discovery warm fuzzies you need. Maggie Sherwood, played by Dakota Johnson, is an aspiring music producer secretly remixing her R&B singer boss Grace Davis’ (played by Tracee Ellis Ross) music in her spare time. Seeing an opportunity to revive Grace’s career, as well as progress her own, the pair come up with a plan to make their ambitions come true.

Attenborough Month
The hardest working man in the world of natural history broadcasting is getting a whole month dedicated to him on Animal Planet this July. Aptly named Attenborough Month, the series showcases Sir David Attenborough’s best moments and stories about all the natural world has to offer. At 94, Attenborough has a pretty long CV and highlights for the month include Shark Coast, Kingdom of Plants and Snow Leopards: Beyond the Myth.
Showing on Animal Planet, every weeknight in July at 7.30pm
What else is on: NZSO Podium Series, Wellington 6 Aug & Auckland 7 Aug. Nothing beats the talent of a full blown orchestra.
