Updated 04 August 2022
Podium was a gift but finishing more than enough, says Jeddah-born SPS Automotive Performance driver
RIYADH: Saudi racer Reema Juffali claimed victory in the Bronze Cup class at the grueling 24 Hours of Spa with her SPS Automotive Performance team in Belgium, but said that just finishing "was more than enough for me."
Juffali shared driving duties with teammates Valentin Pierburg, George Kurtz and Tim Müller in the Mercedes-AMG GT3 #20.
Having produced a commanding performance to secure pole position, the quartet had to overcome a number of obstacles during the race including extensive repairs to their shock absorber before a not-at-fault collision with another team in the pit lane.
But they eventually battled back into the lead with Juffali crossing the finish line to secure first place.
"For me, just finishing the race was going to be an achievement in itself," Juffali said. "We were always on our toes and we needed to keep evolving whether driving at night or avoiding the debris on the track. It was by far the most challenging and difficult race that I've been part of. When it came to the last few laps, I couldn't believe that the race was coming to an end — it just felt like we had been driving forever."
She added: "The podium finish was the icing on the cake and it made the race so much sweeter and more memorable but it really feels like my first 24 Hours race. The podium was a gift but finishing is more than enough for me.
"I definitely wouldn't be here today without the team and my teammates and it wasn't an easy feat to achieve and I am feeling very accomplished."
As founder and one of the drivers of Theeba Motorsport, Juffali has been putting her skills and knowledge to the test during the International GT Open. She believes her experience in Spa will be invaluable for her development going forward.
"The experience that I have gained is everything," she said. "We had so many good moments during the race and it will teach me so much going forward. If this is one of the toughest races out there, then I'm glad I have experienced this now. I don't have any easy benchmarks now and I now have a good outlook going into the future races."
The weekend also saw six female drivers including Juffali compete during the 24 Hours of Spa, with five triumphing in their class.
"It is really important to not just have females in the sport but also to see women competing in the top level and winning," Juffali said. "This is what will change the conversation and allow the next generation to believe in themselves and follow their dreams."

Newcastle sink Saints to end 47-year wait to reach League Cup final /node/2242561/sport
Newcastle had all the momentum, sweeping forward in a black and white wave that left Southampton powerless to stem the tide
NEWCASTLE, United Kingdom: Newcastle reached the League Cup final for the first time in 47 years as Sean Longstaff's double inspired a 2-1 win against Southampton in Tuesday's semifinal second leg at jubilant St. James' Park.
Longstaff's first-half strikes ensured Eddie Howe's side finished the job after winning 1-0 in the first leg last week.
Che Adams reduced the deficit before the interval and Magpies midfielder Bruno Guimaraes was sent off in the closing stages.
But Newcastle held on to clinch a 3-1 aggregate victory that booked a final date with Manchester United or Nottingham Forest at Wembley on February 26.
United hold a 3-0 lead against Forest heading into Wednesday's second leg at Old Trafford.
The Magpies' most recent domestic final ended in defeat against United in the 1999 FA Cup.
Newcastle, who have never won the League Cup, are aiming to lift a major domestic trophy for the first time since the 1955 FA Cup.
Their last major silverware in any competition came in the 1969 Inter-Cities Fairs Cup.
On a cathartic night for Newcastle after decades of suffering, it was fitting that Longstaff, a boyhood Magpies fan, should be the one to send them to Wembley.
With Newcastle legends Alan Shearer and David Ginola joining the celebrations in the stands, raucous Magpies fans were ready to keep the party going all night long in the football-crazy city's Bigg Market and Quayside bars.
Revitalized by Howe's astute leadership and the financial muscle of a largely Saudi-backed ownership group, a club once regarded as the laughing stock of the Premier League can finally hold their heads high.
They sit third in the Premier League and look set for a sustained period as contenders for the English game's top honors.
Reaching their first domestic cup final this century is another significant landmark in Newcastle's rebirth.
Ramping up an already vociferous atmosphere, Newcastle's Anthony Gordon was paraded on the pitch before kick-off after completing his £45 million ($51 million) move from Everton.
Howe had labelled the second leg a "season defining" moment for Newcastle and it took his fired-up side just five minutes to raise the decibel levels even further.
Longstaff found Kieran Trippier on the right flank and sprinted onto the defender's return pass before guiding a low finish past Gavin Bazunu from 12 yards.
Longstaff's first goal at St. James' Park in four years was nearly followed by a second moments later when he flashed just wide from Guimaraes' reverse pass.
Newcastle had all the momentum, sweeping forward in a black and white wave that left Southampton powerless to stem the tide.
Once again it was Longstaff who provided the finishing touch to a breathtaking raid in the 21st minute.
Exposing Southampton's fragile wing-back system, Joe Willock sprinted into space behind James Bree and found Miguel Almiron, whose cutback was drilled home by Longstaff.
Newcastle keeper Nick Pope had kept 10 successive clean-sheets, but his unbeaten streak ended in the 29th minute.
Completely against the run of play, Willock gifted possession to Adams and the striker smashed a superb shot into the far corner from outside the penalty area.
In a symbolic passing of the torch, Jonjo Shelvey — a veteran of Newcastle's darker days — waved farewell to fans on the pitch at half-time ahead of his move to Nottingham Forest.
Shelvey has been left behind by Howe's revolution, an overhaul that has given Newcastle a much stronger spine.
In the past, Newcastle would have wilted when Southampton pushed hard in a tense second half, but they are made of sterner stuff now.
Pope's brilliant save from Adam Armstrong ensured Newcastle's long-awaited return to Wembley wasn't derailed despite Guimaraes' 82nd minute red card for stamping on Samuel Edozie.

Inter beat Atalanta to reach Italian Cup semifinals /node/2242566/sport
Updated 20 sec ago
Matteo Darmian struck the only goal 11 minutes after half-time
MILAN: Inter Milan set up a potential Italian Cup semifinal clash with arch rivals Juventus after the holders saw off Atalanta 1-0 on Tuesday.
Matteo Darmian struck the only goal 11 minutes after half-time, his low strike across Juan Musso enough to put a tight quarter-final at the San Siro in Inter's favor.
Simone Inzaghi's side will take on either troubled Juve or Lazio in April's two-legged semis, with the pair facing off in Turin on Thursday.
Inter beat Juve in last season's final to claim their eighth Italian Cup.
The other side of the draw will be decided on Wednesday when Fiorentina host Torino and Roma welcome Cremonese to the Italian capital.
Inter came through a tough test with Atalanta who are a direct rival for a place in next season's Champions League.
Milan Skriniar was dropped for the match, which was played just after the closure of the winter transfer window in Italy which left him at Inter until the summer.
Slovakia captain Skriniar will leave at the end of the season as a free agent for Paris Saint-Germain.
Inter's attentions now turn to Sunday's Serie A derby with AC Milan, whose league title defense has crumbled after a series of bad results culminating with last weekend's 5-2 home hammering at the hands of Sassuolo.
Defending champions Milan have dropped to fifth with Inter now the closest challengers to league leaders Napoli, 13 points off the pace.

Jorginho joins Arsenal from Chelsea on deadline day /node/2242516/football
"It's an important shirt. It's an amazing club, a big one, and I'm really excited and happy to be here," Jorginho told Arsenal.com
LONDON: Jorginho joined Premier League leaders Arsenal from Chelsea on transfer deadline day on Tuesday for a reported fee of £12 million ($15 million).
"Welcome to The Arsenal, Jorginho," the club said in a post on their official Twitter account.
Gunners manager Mikel Arteta said the 31-year-old Italy international would bring "intelligence, deep leadership skills and a huge amount of Premier League and international experience."
The midfielder, who is understood to have signed an 18-month deal at the Emirates Stadium, told Arsenal.com: "I'm very excited for this new challenge and I just can't wait to be on the pitch to be honest.
"Everything has happened so fast. I was a bit surprised, but I took the opportunity of this amazing challenge.
"It's an important shirt. It's an amazing club, a big one, and I'm really excited and happy to be here."
The former Napoli player has made 143 Premier League appearances for Chelsea, with whom he won the Champions League in 2021.
He was also part of the Italy team that won the European Championship the same year.

Russian Olympic chief says athletes must compete without restrictions /node/2242301/sport
"Russians must participate exactly on the same conditions as all other athletes," Stanislav Pozdnyakov said
IOC said last week it was examining a "pathway" for Russians to take part in the summer Games next year
MOSCOW: The head of Russia's Olympic Committee said Tuesday that athletes representing Russia must not be subjected to different conditions from those of other countries, amid a growing row over their participation in the 2024 Paris Games.
"Russians must participate exactly on the same conditions as all other athletes. Any additional conditions or criteria are unwelcome, especially any that have political overtones, which are completely unacceptable for the Olympic movement," Stanislav Pozdnyakov said, according to Russian news agencies.
The International Olympic Committee (IOC) said last week it was examining a "pathway" for Russians to take part in the summer Games next year, probably as neutral athletes rather than under their national flag.
Russia and its ally Belarus, which allowed its territory to be a stage ground for the offensive, have been sidelined from most Olympic sports since Russian forces invaded Ukraine last February.
That announcement sparked an immediate backlash from Kyiv, with a Ukrainian presidential aide accusing the IOC of being a "promoter of war".
Ukraine has threatened to boycott the Paris Games if Russians are allowed to take part.
Pozdnyakov said his organisation welcomed efforts by the IOC to allow Russian athletes to compete.
"But as for additional conditions, we strongly disagree. The Olympic Charter states that all athletes must participate on an equal footing," he added.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Russia's participation in the Paris Olympics would amount to showing that "terror can allegedly be something acceptable".
Zelensky also last week said he had invited IOC president Thomas Bach to visit the frontline Ukrainian city of Bakhmut, "so that he can see for himself that neutrality does not exist".
Ukraine's Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said on Monday that of the 71 medals that Russian competitors won at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, 45 were won by athletes who were members of the Central Sports Club of the Russian Army, or CSKA.
"The army that commits atrocities, kills, rapes, and loots," Kuleba said. "This is whom the ignorant IOC wants to put under (the) white flag allowing (them) to compete."
The Olympic Council of Asia, however, last week offered Russian and Belarusian athletes the chance to compete in this year's Asian Games, arguing that "all athletes, regardless of their nationality or the passport they hold, should be able to compete in sports competitions".
That was a significant move because it would allow athletes from those two countries to achieve qualifying standards they would need to compete in the Paris Olympics.
The IOC reiterated last week that the international federations for each Olympic sport were "the sole authority for its international competitions".

Faisal Salhab, Saud Al-Sharif make history as second and third Saudi golfers to turn professional
National team stars looking to lead new generation of players into professional arena
JEDDAH: The PIF Saudi International powered by SoftBank Investment Advisers will provide the stage for the first steps into the professional game for Saudi golfers Faisal Salhab, 26, and Saud Al-Sharif, 23, after the pair announced their decision to turn professional ahead of the Asian Tour's flagship event.
The duo become the second and third Saudi Arabian golfers to join the paid ranks, following in the footsteps of national teammate and friend, 36-year-old Othman Almulla.
All three will continue to be supported by Golf Saudi and the Saudi Golf Federation given the important role they play in demonstrating the benefits of the sport to the Saudi public, who now have more opportunities to try golf thanks to a number of mass participation programs and new access points.
Having had successful amateur careers, turning professional was the natural next step on the career pathway of Salhab and Al-Sharif, and should allow both players a platform to test their games against, and learn from, some of the world's best players.
Salhab said: "This is another exciting step on our journey and where better to turn professional than in our home country at the PIF Saudi International?
"It has been a long journey to get to this point but the continued support of Golf Saudi, the Saudi Golf Federation, my coaching team, and friends and family has made all the difference.
"I want to thank them for everything and hope that I can continue my amateur success in the professional game, starting this week," he added.
Al-Sharif echoed Salhab's sentiments, adding: "Turning professional has been my goal since I first caught the golf bug as young kid, and I am so happy to have the opportunity to fully pursue golf as a career.
"There are so many people to thank but Golf Saudi and the Saudi Golf Federation have been integral to growing the game within the Kingdom and allowing both of us the opportunity to play golf and reach this point," he said.
"I can't wait to be on the road with Othman and Faisal testing ourselves against the best players and on the best courses, and hope that our story can help others to see and believe they can do the same and follow in our footsteps," Al-Sharif added. "As well as winning on the international stage, we each share the dream of inspiring the next generation, and professional golf gives us the platform to do that."
Both enter the professional game in impressive form, following December's Saudi Open at Riyadh Golf Club, where Salhab clinched the overall title, with Al-Sharif, Saudi Arabia's leading amateur, finishing second.
Following their first professional event at Royal Greens, both players will enjoy a full schedule of events on the Asian Tour, traveling from Saudi Arabia onto the International Series Oman and International Series Qatar, before venturing further east to the International Series in Thailand.
Almulla, who became the first-ever Saudi professional in 2019, praised his compatriots in taking the next steps in their careers, and hopes to be able to share advice as the two forge new paths.
"Turning professional is the biggest decision I've ever made and I couldn't have done it without the amazing support I have received from everyone at Golf Saudi, the Saudi Golf Federation and my sponsors.
"Life on tour is a pretty demanding one, so I'm hoping that I can help the guys avoid some of my mistakes and do whatever I can to help them overcome some of the early challenges of turning professional," he said.
"More than anything, I'm looking forward to competing on the world stage alongside my countrymen and, hopefully, seeing one of them lift a trophy in the very near future," Almulla added.

Why Is Stalking People on Venmo So Addictive?
By Madison Malone Kircher@4evrmalone
Get That Money

Get That Money is an exploration of the many ways we think about our finances — what we earn, what we have, and what we want.
My senior year of college, I dated somebody who then went abroad for a semester in Paris. Before she left, we cried a lot. We reminisced about the whole six months we'd spent together. We cried some more. "Together in Paris," read the note she left in my dorm room with a mix CD. This was, I freely admit, a reference to a sappy plotline in the animated classic Anastasia. (Bernadette Peters is in it. Meg Ryan is in it. The music slaps. I refuse to be embarrassed by this anecdote.)
We broke up six weeks later. And though that was years ago and we've both long since moved on, I still found myself gasping when, as I scrolled through my Venmo feed last year, I saw a charge she'd sent her current partner. "Together in Paris," it read, complete with a croissant emoji.
Honestly, what was I expecting to find? Usually, Venmo — the ubiquitous app that enables us to send and receive money between friends — is just a series of mundane exchanges for things like beer and pizza emoji. Nobody cares about seeing roommates pitch in for Con Edison payments denoted by lightbulbs. Or do they? "I like to look for utilities or rent payments between couples," Kevin, a 28-year-old from Manhattan told me. "I find it interesting to know who pays for what in the relationship. Whose name is on the lease? That sort of thing." These transactions give us clues about small, intimate, generally innocuous parts of people's lives they might not otherwise share. And that's why they're so fascinating.
"People have an innate tendency to be voyeuristic, and the internet has made that unbelievably easy," Harris Stratyner, a psychologist who specializes in addictive and unhealthy behaviors, told me. "You cannot imagine the people who come to see me who are addicted to the internet and its various apps, Venmo included." He has a few theories for why we get so hooked on information that could potentially hurt our feelings: "You might go up to the edge of a cliff and look over and get scared, but there's a part of you that wonders what would happen if you fell off or jumped. It's the same kind of thing."
Also, Venmo hides just enough to make your imagination fill in the blanks. "Venmo is filled with intrigue and jealousy, like a psychological detective story, or something out of a Hitchcock," says Stratyner. While it might seem dramatic to envision every person scrolling through their Venmo feed like a present-day version of Jimmy Stewart in Rear Window, peering through binoculars at his neighbors in the dark, it's also … not that far off.
Then there's the tension between the performative aspect of making transactions public (do you include a joke, or a reference to the dumplings you ate together?) and the sneaky quality of the "private" setting. "When I was single, I would check people's Venmos for hints on who else they were sleeping with," said Megan, a 28-year-old from Brooklyn. One guy she liked kept his whole Venmo feed on lockdown, which struck her as "shady." When Liz, 26, got back together with an ex but wasn't ready to tell her family yet, she made sure to keep their transactions out of her feed. "All my other exchanges are public, but I just know my sisters stalk my Venmo and would see what we were up to."
Another reason why Venmo is great for stalking: My friend Lena, whose Venmo voyeurism habits are unparalleled, pointed out that it's designed so that the "comment" and "heart" icons are on the left side, making it harder to "like" something by accident while scrolling through another person's feed (if you're right-handed, at least). This allows people like Lena to safely peruse through days' and weeks' worth of transactions without fear of brushing the screen and tipping people off to the fact that you were creeping on them. (Even though they, by using Venmo, are ostensibly inviting you to do so.)
People can be surprisingly unguarded and reachable on Venmo, including the wealthy and famous(ish). When Sean Spicer, one of Trump's short-lived press secretaries, was unmasked on the app, people were interested to see that he'd exchanged money with just two people, his brother and sister, and counted a major K Street lobbyist among his small friend list. When Becca Kufrin was dumped on The Bachelor, strangers around the world found her account and sent her $6,000 in microdonations. (She gave the money to charity.)
Stratyner pointed out Venmo offers a particularly potent draw that other social platforms do not: intel on a taboo subject. "It's easier for patients to discuss their sex life with me than to tell me what they make in a year," he said, noting that Venmo acts as an intermediary that lets people talk about their finances without actually doing so. "[On Venmo], you can show off how much money you have in an indirect way," he said. When you display how often you spend, on what, and with whom, you may inspire "venvy", a portmanteau of "Venmo" and "envy" coined years ago that has only become more relevant as the app has grown. The difference between "venvy" and, say, the Instagram equivalent, is that braggarts can chalk up their flexing to the app's genuinely useful function ("I wasn't trying to show off, I just needed to pay so-and-so back for our ski trip").
And then we, the people scrolling through this information, have yet another metric against which to compare and judge ourselves. "I recently saw a group of my friends renting a house for an upcoming long weekend … and I wasn't invited," Lena said. Another user told me she checks the app to see which of her high-school friends are still hanging out with each other, without her.
"I think Venmo is unintentionally one of the most honest platforms," Megan explained. "People don't really tend to think of it as social media, so if you want to find out what someone is up to, who they live with, or what some of their life habits are, Venmo is actually a more complete picture than say, Instagram, which is very intentionally curated." It helps, too, that Venmo payments default to public. You have to manually change the setting if you don't want people to see where your money is going.
This means, even though it's technically automatic, people who opt to keep their payments public are making a choice. They're saying they want you to be able to poke around in their finances. To pry open their social calendar. To know their new relationship is going great thank you very much and why yes we are looking forward to our trip to Paris. Which is good because we, as humans, are wired to want to know those same things. "I didn't even know Venmo could be private," one user told me. "Where's the fun in that?"

Princess Nathalie is pregnant.
[picappgallerysingle id="866714″] Danish magazine Billedbladet had it confirmed from Princess Benedikte, the mother of Princess Nathalie zu Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berleburg, that her youngest daughter is pregnant. The child will be born in July this year. Princess Benedikte told Billedbladet: "Both Prince Richard and I are very happy for the young couple."
Nathalie and the father of the baby, Alexander Johannsman became engaged on Christmas Day last year, but the engagement was not announced until January.
The couple were married in a civil ceremony just after the engagement announcement, but Nathalie says in a comment to Euro Dressage News that the religious wedding has been set for 2011, but that no definite date has been set yet.
Nathalie, at 6 months pregnant, is planned to have her last dressage competition before the birth of the baby today at the 2010 World Cup Finals. Her goal is to be back in shape by the World Equestrian Games, this year hosted in Kentucky, USA, in the end of September/start of October.

Coaches work with their coachees
Is focused guidance and support, usually delivered by a trained internal or external coach over a fixed timescale, with the intention of helping a person with a particular challenge or transition. Coaches work with their coachees, on a 1 1, confidential and voluntary basis, to help them address specific work related challenges around people or projects, or issues relating to career development. They do not fix the coachee's problems but use advanced skills of listening, questioning, feedback and reflection to create highly effective conversations with a range of techniques and diagnostic tools at their disposal..

Close to Home - Final Episode
This is the final episode of the pioneering Kiwi soap. TV One's Hearte family saga achieved enormous popularity during its eight year run, and provided a training ground for a generation of screen talent. But by 1982 Close to Home's characters were aging or departed, and the show faced competition from American youth-focused fare (eg Fame, The Six Million Dollar Man). With this 818th episode it was time for moving house, nostalgic re-caps, for The Seekers' 'Carnival is Over' to score the opening credits, and for Tom (John Bach) to stub out his last ciggie and write the ending.
Close Up - All Blacks interview (June 2005)
This Close Up All Blacks interview was broadcast from Christchurch Football Club, ahead of the opening test of the much anticipated 2005 tour by the British Lions. Mark Sainsbury is the MC, as coach Graham Henry, captain Tana Umaga, vice-captain Richie McCaw and young lock James Ryan talk pre-game rituals, mentors, half-time food and nicknames (McCaw is known as 'Fluffy'?). Umaga would shortly make headlines for his part in a controversial tackle on Brian O'Driscoll, which ruled the Lions captain out for the rest of the series (won 3 - 0 by the All Blacks).
Close Up - Dragon interview
This 2010 Close Up excerpt sees presenter Mark Sainsbury interview rock band Dragon. After singer Marc Hunter's death in 1998, the band went on hiatus until nearly a decade later, when Todd Hunter started rehearsing a new line-up, with Mark Williams on vocals. Hunter talks about reforming — "we are here to service the songs" — and he and Williams reflect on their rock'n'roll lives. "It must have been dangerous to be in the band?" asks Sainsbury. It wouldn't be a Kiwi summer without 'Rain', and the band ends with a TVNZ rooftop rendition of the classic song.
Close Up - Big Dealers (featuring John Key)
This episode of current affairs show Close Up offers a fascinating portrait of the early days of New Zealand's foreign exchange market. Reporter Ted Sheehan heads into "the pit" (trading room), and chronicles the working life of a senior forex dealer, 25-year-old accountancy graduate John Key. The "smiling assassin" (and future Prime Minister) is a calm and earnest presence amongst the young cowboys playing for fortunes and Porsches, months before the 1987 sharemarket crash. As Sheehan says, "they're like addicts who eat, breathe and sleep foreign exchange dealing".
Close Up - Utu
This 2 June 1982 Close Up edition looks at the journey of the merry pranksters behind Blerta, from Dr Brunowski to making multi-million dollar movies. Geoff Murphy and Bruno Lawrence are interviewed at Waimarama while working on colonial epic Utu. Various members of the Murphy clan are seen involved in the production, reinforcing Murphy's stab at why Blerta's players have stuck together up to this point: "A uniformity of philosophy I suppose ... the family thing." Nb: 'B-roll' shots (supplementary cutaway footage) are missing from the archive copy of this show.
Close Up - Following the Leader (Jim Bolger)
This report from 80s current affairs show Close Up introduces the New Zealand public to future Prime Minister Jim Bolger — shortly after the "lightning coup" that saw him unseating urban lawyer Jim McLay, to become leader of the National Party. The focus is on Bolger's rural roots as a father and farmer. There is also praise from political historian Barry Gustafson, and a mini journalistic joust with ex PM Robert Muldoon, over whether he supports the new party leader. In 1987 Labour was re-elected for another term; Bolger's party swept to victory in 1990.
Close to Home - First Episode
Pioneering soap opera Close To Home first screened in May 1975. For just over eight years (until August 1983) middle New Zealand found their mirror in the life and times of Wellington's Hearte clan. At its peak in 1977 nearly one million viewers tuned in twice weekly to watch the series co-created by Michael Noonan and Tony Isaac. This first episode sees the family gathering for Grandfather's 78th birthday. Vivian (Ilona Rodgers) moans to Tom (John Bach): "you've drunk all my cooking sherry", then tenderises the beef with the empty bottle.
Close Up - 'Nature' performed by The Fourmyula
"Through falling leaves I pick my way slowly…" In 1970 a musical paean to getting your nature buzz topped the charts. 'Nature', by The Fourmyula, became a Kiwi classic: in 2001 an APRA poll voted it the best local song of the past 75 years. This 2010 Close Up report, from Auckland's Montecristo Room, sees presenter Mark Sainsbury introduce the band's second performance of 'Nature' in Aotearoa (the band were overseas when it topped the charts). He quizzes composer Wayne Mason, and drummer Chris Parry recalls encountering The Clash while working in the English music scene.
Set in a small New Zealand town, Closer is the story of a deaf teenage boy trying to come to terms with the death of his older sister. An emotionally locked-down father who has limited knowledge of sign language compounds his struggle. Written and directed by David Rittey (We The Living), and co-written by poet Therese Lloyd, Closer is a moving portrayal of the power and complexity of silence. Closer won Best Short Film and Best Performance at the 2005 NZ Screen Awards, and was selected to compete for the top short film prize at the Cannes Film Festival.
K' Road Stories - Closed
A woman running an Auckland laundromat finds herself accosted by a drug addict. A frustrated customer struggles with a machine that is out of order and ruining her expensive clothes. Somewhere across the city police are on their way to a drug bust. However all is not what it seems on Karangahape Road, and the consequences look to be life altering. The three tales in this film were made as part of NZ On Air funded K' Rd Stories, a collection of short films which all tell stories set around Auckland's most legendary, notorious, and arguably most beloved street.
