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

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
