A Flat City records the impressions and experiences of Christchurch’s creative community following the February 2011 Earthquakes. Threaded with musical selections, influences and responses the stories convey a range of thoughts on what’s next for their creative futures in Christchurch. A Flat City explores the effect of a natural disaster on a section of Canterbury society that has been given little attention by the mainstream media, recording experiences and reactions of musicians, venue owners, and engineers across the genres. Covering 13 episodes, A Flat City covers the emotional, social, financial and creative aspects of the disaster, highlighting the creative responses of those affected, and discusses the rebuilding process from the alternative/creative community’s perspective.
