How to Celebrate World Day for Audiovisual Heritage?📽🏇👀📺

I've been going through Sam Neill's acting credits and trying to watch films of his that I haven't seen yet, one of those films is 'My Brilliant Career'.
World Day for Audiovisual Heritage
My Brilliant Career (1979)
"My Brilliant Career has been noted by film historians as a part of the Australian New Wave of cinema.
In a retrospective essay celebrating the film's inclusion in the Criterion Collection, film scholar Carrie Rickey notes that both the film and its source novel have "become part of Australian identity.""
I also just started reading the Miles Franklin novel 'My Brilliant Career' that I bought at an Op Shop recently, now that I have finished reading Sam Neill's autobiography.
Ironically, there is a new NETFLIX series of 'My Brilliant Career' that was released exactly one month after Sam Neill's passing.

How to Celebrate National Black Cat Day During Black Cat Awareness Month?🙀😟

I have a black cat in the neighbourhood that crosses my path just about every morning.
The cat's owners must let it out before sunrise, because while I rarely see the cat anymore, its wet paw prints can usually be found every morning outside my back sliding door, where the cat has crossed my path to the rubbish bins:-)

How to Celebrate Labour Day in New Zealand ... or Even Australia?🌏

In Australia (well in my state of Queensland anyway) Labour Day is held in May, but New Zealand hold it in October for some reason that I'm not aware of.
I just finished reading the late Sam Neill's autobiography where many times in that book he claimed to lean to the left, and I just watched one of the first main feature films he made in New Zealand, called 'Sleeping Dogs', which was a very left leaning movie, so I guess Sam would have liked Labour Day, and this will be the first that he is not around to observe sadly. 
'Sleeping Dogs' was released in 1977, which was the one and only year I visited New Zealand on a 10-day soccer playing tour of the north island only, when I was 12.
Hopefully, I'll get to go back and tour the whole island soon as a tourist rather than a footballer and see how much it has changed since my last trip in 1977.
Ironically, I had to work today, but then again, it wasn't Labour Day where I live.
