'Maurice and I' Screening

On Wednesday, 12 November, around 70 members of the StAC community gathered in the Gough Family Theatre for a special screening of Maurice and I. This stunning documentary explores the remarkable partnership between architects Sir Miles Warren and Maurice Mahoney, and their fight to save Christchurch’s iconic Town Hall after the 2011 earthquake.

Following the screening, attendees enjoyed an engaging Q&A with filmmakers Rick Harvie (OC 1989) and Jane Mahoney (daughter of Maurice Mahoney). They shared fascinating insights into the documentary-making process, the challenges they faced, and the pleasant surprises that emerged along the way, as well as the reception of this internationally acclaimed film.

It was a wonderful evening, a celebration of two extraordinary individuals and the lasting impact their work has had on Christchurch.
