48Hours 2026 Ōtautahi Heats
by 48 Hours
The 48 Hours Ōtautahi Christchurch Heats Watch Party!
Timings and running orders confirmed after the shoot weekend. Keen to play? Great!! Registration to enter a team open on 1st June 2026 at THE 48HOURS WEBSITE.
Anybody is very welcome to attend any and all of the sessions! No tickets/reservations required, just turn up. We have 100 seats, and historically we only get about half full so we'll be fine to receive you all. There's no cost to attend these screenings.
In the unprecedented case that we run out of room, there is also a feed on in the bar. Priority to the theatre will be given to competing teams.
The bar will be open and hot snacks (from Craft Embassy's kitchen) are available. The theatre is open to all ages, just under-18s won't be able to purchase alcohol at the bar.
