Double Feature: Stories of Engagement

Double Feature: Stories of Engagement is a community celebration of creativity, connection, and storytelling. #LearningwithStories

Ako Ōtautahi Learning City Christchurch is partnering with Univeristy 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.

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.
