This year
Spark 07 is extending its walls, and broadening its horizons
to embrace the city of

to the streets and beyond.

Victoria Cinema will be screening films by Beck Cole and Warwick Thornton on Tuesday evening.
Likewise, the Rialto will
screen the UK’s outstanding digital film festival

Waikato Museum for a curator’s floor talk on Thursday
afternoon. Thursday evening winds up with bands The Weather
and The Gills playing live at the Ward Lane Function
Centre.
