MAURICE AND I
New Zealand, 2024, Doco, 99 mins
Cast: Sir Miles Warren, Maurice Mahoney
Maurice and I celebrates the architectural partnership of Sir Miles Warren and Maurice Mahoney, whose innovative ‘brutalist’ designs redefined the look of Christchurch architecture in the 1960s and 70s.
During their careers, the two men enhanced the community’s cultural and social fabric. Their work, including the iconic Christchurch Town Hall, was nearly erased by the 2011 earthquakes and they launched a passionate campaign to try to preserve it.
Using rare archival footage and exclusive interviews, the film reflects on their remarkable legacy and the community impact of their bold architectural vision over two decades.
MAURICE AND I is an enthralling exploration of partnership and the enduring importance of architecture in shaping and enriching our lives." IMDB

Showing at Forum North, 7 Rust Ave Whangarei on Thursday, 17th April at 6pm and Thursday, 24th April at 8pm.

The new owners Anna Xu and Henry Wu are all set up and ready to go. They previously operated The Cabbage Tree Café on Rathbone Street and have kept the same business name.
Reana Te Hei, Whangārei isite Team Leader is ecstatic – “it already feels busy with curious locals and tourists noticing the activity, we are so excited!"
"When the visitor centre was built back in the 1990’s the site was specifically chosen with the visitor’s needs and wants in mind – free parking, a playground for the kids, toilet and shower facilities, an information centre, and of course a café."
“The isite is a one stop shop for the many manuhiri (guests) we welcome to Whangarei 364 days a year. We leverage each other’s customers so it’s a win for all."
Like the isite, the Cabbage Tree will be open 7 days a week, closed only on Christmas day. The cafe will open from 7:00am until 4:30pm.
