On Tuesday, 8 December, come along for a Pizza and Movies night at Space Academy!

We’ll be showing two international award-winning transport-themed movies: ‘The Traffic Separating Device’ (Sweden, by Johan Palmgren), and ‘Radiant City’ (Canada).

There will be a short discussion following each film reflecting on the themes presented and how they relate to the local Christchurch context.

The bar will be open from 5:30pm onwards, with movies starting at 6:00pm. You will be able to purchase drinks at the bar. And of course – we’ll provide pizza!

We will kick off with a brief industry update from Jeanine Foster, the Waka Kotahi Local Road Programme Lead for the Road to Zero Speed and Infrastructure Programme.
