SSP WED - Northside Chat & Edit

Meet for chat over a drink and snack or dinner. Tonight, if you are in the mood, we can discuss editing images. Editing images allows you to refine your communication to the viewer of the image’s story. I will bring a laptop with Lightroom Classic installed. We can discuss any aspect of editing your images. Most image editors are similar, so even if using a different editor, the techniques are similar, mainly due to the menu system. Feel free to bring image(s) on a usb stick, SD, microSD memory card or an iPhone that supports Airdrop. Using Lightroom we can work on extracting the story of the image. More info on the venue here chatswoodrsl.com.au Plenty of free parking available nearby as well as the bus stop at the door or metro & rail just 50m away.

PROSECUTION - German FF @ Palace Central

***PROSECUTION - German FF @ Palace Central - - -*** Prosecution is an engrossing tale of good versus evil that cleverly combines legal drama and thriller for a powerful and urgent story about the realities of Germany’s judicial system. With all the resources and authority of the state behind her, self-assured young German-Korean prosecutor Seyo Kim (Chen Emilie Yan) is determined to confront far-right violence in eastern Germany. But when she becomes a target, surviving a racist attack, Seyo decides to investigate on her own, defying explicit orders from her superiors and putting her life further at risk. When she finally succeeds in bringing one of the attackers to trial, she fights to expose him as part of a wider right-wing network, digging deep into her office’s archives and weaving a tangled web of connections. But throughout the trial, Seyo begins to learn what it means to trust the pursuit of justice in a state that applies double standards and downplays far-right violence, as the system’s myth of objectivity begins to crumble. The movie starts at 8.45 pm so I will meet you about 20 mins before. Please only RSVP ATTEND if you are certain you will be there. Tickets can be bought on the night at the box office or online below. I have seat F7. **[https://www.palacecinemas.com.au/movies/ger26-prosecution](https://www.palacecinemas.com.au/movies/ger26-prosecution)** Any questions please put a message in the comments below or if on the day text me on 0498826506 Ta Maggy
