Double Feature: Stories of Engagement is a community celebration of creativity, connection, and storytelling. #LearningwithStories
Ako Ōtautahi Learning City Christchurch is partnering with University of Canterbury's CHCH101 Course and Digital Storytellers to honour the achievements of the year and spotlight the incredible talent within two filmmaking collectives, each sharing five(ish) short films that reflect the voices, experiences, and ideas of our local storytellers.
This is more than a screening - it’s an invitation to experience the power of storytelling to connect us, spark empathy, and reveal the many ways our communities make meaning through film.
--
WHEN: Tuesday 18 November, 5:30pm-7:30pm (doors open 5:00pm)
WHERE: Rehua 108 (Community Engagement Hub), University of Canterbury
COST: $5 + bf (to help us cover catering)
--
Across the evening, around ten short films will be showcased including:
Documenting Stories In Richmond Project by UC CHCH101 students
Stories for Impact Workshop participant stories
The programme unfolds in two screening sessions, interwoven with a panel conversation featuring storytellers who will reflect on the impact and responsibility of narrative design in shaping community and culture.
Come along for an evening of short-form cinema, community connection, and the celebration of Stories of Engagement - where storytelling becomes a shared act of creativity and change.
