We're so excited to share with you that our 5 minute film 'Everything is Going to be Alright' is going to be shown on the big screen at the outdoor theatre as part of Canterbury Shorts Short Film Festival. Its thrilling to imagine seeing it, and sharing it but for us one of the most exciting parts is being able to watch the beautiful children that shared their wisdom on the film see themselves in such an awesomely positive way.
This autumn bring a blanket, chair or cushion and a friend for the first ever Canterbury Shorts — bringing the best and most upbeat of Canterbury filmmaking to an outdoor cinema in Christchurch. This showcase by emerging and established filmmakers is spirited, uplifting, unexpected and engaging. While the films do turn serious, each will leave you smiling. So prepare to get happy.
Pre-show entertainment begins at 7pm with live music, before the kick-off of short films at 7.30pm.
We’ll provide the food trucks (including the Diversity Food Market) and the free popcorn. So come hungry!
Entry is free but koha will be gratefully accepted and passed on to CHCH SOUP to support individuals with grassroots projects that will benefit our beautiful Christchurch. Donate on the nite or through Eventbrite (link above).
See you there!
