Derek Pearson's labour of love Event 16 is Wellington's first independent, digital-effects heavy sci-fi feature film. Pearson's time-tripping characters run around Wellington as you have never seen it - 1893 and 2038 look extraordinary here, but so does 2006. City landmarks are reproduced and reconfigured; flat, sterile and slightly menacing: it's a world at once instantly recognisable and surreal.
