We're highlighting a host of WIFTer-made documentaries to watch over the Easter break. This one celebrates the passionate artists and entrepreneurs who battled to protect the creative heart of their city amongst the ruins of post-quake Christchurch.
In The Art of Recovery director Peter Young juxtaposes the Government’s corporate-driven, big business model for rebuilding the city with the creative energy and spirit of the Gap Filler project whose creative uses of empty space drew people back into the centre of the damaged city.
Produced by Tracy Roe, and edited by Gaylene Barnes, this is an essential and unique documentary about a city and a people brought to their knees, and how they face the crucial crossroad at which they find themselves.
