Cityscape Christmas 2019
Bring on the party, Cityscapers! Addington Cup Week kicks off the season we love to love, and we are sooo ready. We bring you all the deets on the biggest week in Christchurch’s social calendar. Important information like what the judges are looking for in The Crossing Fashion Starts Here Best Dressed Competition and stuff about the racing as well, like pointers on how to pick a winner. And thanks to Callam Mitchell and his team at Team Event, Addington Cup Week is just the start of party season. We talk to the promoter putting the icing on Christchurch’s cake this summer. Ladi6 is just one of the fantastic artists he is bringing to town, and we check in with her as well (that’s her gorgeous self on the cover). The days are counting down to Christmas and with that comes the fun and the challenge of finding the perfect gift for all those on your ‘Nice’ list. We live to serve here at Cityscape, and so we have served up a curated Christmas gift guide brimming with ideas fresh and failsafe. Nailing that pressy list is the best reason possible for heading to the central city and exploring its retail hotspots, followed by a drink and some nibbles, of course. We shine our spotlight on what’s new in the inner city, from retail meccas to the hottest hospo hangouts. And if 2020 is looking like the year to put a ring on it, check out our feature on the amazingly creative community of jewellers we have in this city. As always, we also bring you what’s hot in cuisine, events, home and couture.

Nick Paris from Lumière
reviews three of the best
from the current crop of
cinema releases.
THE PEANUT BUTTER FALCON
A down-on-his-luck crab fisherman embarks on a
journey to get a young man with Down syndrome to a
wrestling school and away from the retirement home
where he’s lived for the past 2½ years. Starring Shia
LaBeouf, Bruce Dern and Dakota Johnson, this tale
through the dangerous yet relaxing vibes of the
Southern Atlantic land and seascape combines the
heart of the Hunt for the Wilderpeople with the ‘pages’
of a Mark Twain adventure. Look out for it in January.
4K RESTORATION
DON’T LOOK NOW
The chilling and mysterious Nic Roeg classic pitches
Venice’s back alleys into a brilliant chamber piece of
madness. Donald Sutherland and Julie Christie’s
relationship is formed by the tragedy of the drowning
death of their daughter, Christine. The watery grave
symbolises birth, death, salvation and damnation, with
the viewer wondering what’s around the corner.
GAZA
This film was inspired by a photo series Andrew
McConnell completed in 2011 about the surfers in Gaza.
Documentary filmmaker Garry Keane met McConnell in
2012: both shared a passion for the plight of the trapped
and tortured people of Gaza, so they decided to
combine their skill sets and make a film to highlight the
issues there. The film was made between 2014 and 2018,
with McConnell spending almost the entire 2014 conflict
with Israel filming on the ground. Gaza is compelling
because we hear of life there in the people’s own words.
