Christchurch Earthquake, February 22, 2011
23rd February 2011
Film New Zealand joins all New Zealanders and others around the world in extending its heartfelt sympathies to those affected by yesterday’s tragic earthquake in Christchurch.
Chief executive Gisella Carr says it is devastating to see the terrible loss of life and the destruction of much of the heart of the South Island’s biggest city.
In response to enquiries, we are not aware of any international film or television productions occurring within New Zealand that have been affected by the earthquake as they are all occurring away from the Canterbury region impacted by the disaster, she says.
“Our thoughts are with those who have lost loved ones, and for Cantabrians whose lives have been reshaped in such a shocking way by yesterday’s quake.”
