Join us this September! Our programme launches 20 July
The feature documentary, BEHROUZ will have its world premiere in Christchurch on Saturday, 11 June, at the Isaac Theatre Royal. Come and join us for this special event! Tickets are available now.
We did it! After the most tumultuous year in WORD’s history (yes, even more so than in 2010 when the festival was shut down by a huge earthquake!) we staged a great festival. We harnessed technology to beam writers both into the festival and out to the world. Read on for our report from the 2021 WORD Christchurch Festival!
The Backlisted Podcast episode that was going to be recorded live as part of WORD was recorded anyway and is now available.
We've listened to your feedback about how much you enjoyed watching the Festival sessions over the summer, and that you know others who would like to watch them, too. So, we've reinstated all our on-demand recordings. Read more here.
