The World’s Longest City
Monday 8th of September 2025 6:15 pm
The World’s Longest City follows photographer and filmmaker Harry Cunningham as he takes the audience on a journey across the edge of Perth, Australia’s fastest-growing metropolis and the longest city in the world.
The documentary investigates the profound impact of Perth’s urban sprawl, raising crucial questions: How did Perth become the world’s longest city? What forces have driven this rapid expansion, and what are the long-term consequences of such growth? As Cunningham travels through Perth’s sprawling suburbs, he interviews a diverse range of individuals, including residents, academics, developers, indigenous elders and environmental scientists. As Harry travels he explores the effects of relentless development on the environment, the city’s infrastructure, and the social fabric of its communities. By weaving together Perspectives from conflicting viewpoints – The World’s Longest City uncovers the hidden costs of continuous expansion. It shows how the dream of endless growth is altering not just the physical landscape, but also the very essence of what makes Perth unique.
Ultimately, the film asks a critical question: What kind of legacy is Perth leaving for future generations?
We will be joined by the filmmaker Harry Cunningham, who will introduce his film and guide us in a discussion afterwards.
