The Day That Changed the Bay

Join us for a behind-the-scenes look at the development of The Day That Changed the Bay 2.0, a revised introductory film being created for the Art Deco Trust’s walking tours and visitor experience, which includes some fascinating archival footage.
This presentation offers a first glimpse of the draft script, which aims to bring Napier’s earthquake story to life in a fresh, accessible way for audiences from around the world. It’s also an opportunity to share your thoughts and feedback as we shape this important storytelling project.
