Maurice and I is a feature-length documentary created by Christchurch filmmakers Rick Harvie and Jane Mahoney – daughter of 'Maurice', of the film’s title.
It celebrates the transformative architectural partnership of Sir Miles Warren and Maurice Mahoney, whose innovative, brutalist designs redefined Christchurch in the 1960s and 70s, enhancing the community's cultural and social fabric - and whose built legacy was all but destroyed in Christchurch’s 2011 earthquake.
Through rare archival footage and exclusive interviews, including their final conversation together, the film reflects on their remarkable legacy, the community impact of their bold architectural vision, and the enduring importance of architecture in shaping and enriching our lives.
