them? Today, we're delving into the past to rediscover the

and physically, but help is at hand, in the form of OneWellness Hub –
a new online portal packed with inspiration, advice and virtual
fitness classes. The best bit? It's totally free!

cinema, theatre and entertainment for you to enjoy while venues are
temporarily closed. This month we have shone a spotlight
on a new global film festival, highlighted our top picks for
exploring art and culture at home and gathered more film

Staff Film Recommendations

Spirited Away (2001)
Matthew
Horsfall – Cinema Marketing Officer
Hayao
Miyazaki's beautiful adventure follows a young girl who
finds herself within a vibrant world of Japanese Shinto
folklore. Spirited Away was the first anime film to
win an Oscar and became a gateway for many global audiences
to discover Japanese animation.

|
|
Extra Ordinary (2019)
Jack
Wentworth-Weedon – Festivals Assistant
An Irish supernatural comedy about a sweet, small
town driving instructor gifted with the ability to
communicate with the spirit world. Think of it as
a charming, witty blend of Derry Girls and What
We Do In The Shadows.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Primer (2004)
Tom
Perkin – Cinema General Manager
Director
Shane Carruth takes a farfetched subject matter and
turns it into something that feels tangible and
realistic. A timeless tale of what-if, that seduces
you throughout its snappy 80-minute running time and leaves
you pondering its metaphysical and logical riddles long after
the credits have finished.

God's Own Country (2017)
Cathy
Pilkington – Communications Officer
Set and
filmed in Keighley, Francis Lee’s beautifully crafted
romance is as much a love letter to his home county and
migrant workers as it is a poignant story of romance
between Johnny, a young farmer and Gheorghe, a man from
Romania who arrives to help on the farm.

What's

power for change greater than a community discovering what it cares
about." – Margaret J. Wheatley

Get Healthy Again
Sponsored by:
If you feel
exhausted by the word “diet,” you’re not alone. Diets are famous for making
you feel even worse than you did eating cookies.
That’s why the
people at Noom threw out the dieting fad textbook, and looked to the science
of food AND behavior. Yup, this is an app that uses psychology (not guilt) to
help you reach your fitness goals.
Take the 2-min
quiz to find out more.

Everyone Wants To Bike
The
MTA is a scary place for many during rush hour, especially those essential
workers with pre-existing health concerns which make them more susceptible to
COVID-19. For those who can get around using trains and buses, bike rentals
and purchases have been the answer.
Due to the
increase in demand and frequent use, it seems some bike shops are a little
tied up trying to supply enough wheels to customers.

Inside Food Programs
If
you or someone you know is in need of food assistance, there are still
programs available for grocery deliveries. In a candid food diary of sorts,
view photos from food recipients revealing what meals and snacks are actually
being given.
Although food
programs do offer different items and require different criteria to be met
for participants, these are some items and experiences from many New Yorkers
throughout the boroughs.
