Queenstown also now hosts an annual International Jazz Festival. Recent international performers include Anika Moa and Di Bird. Queenstown and the surrounding area contain many locations used in the filming of the Lord of the Rings film trilogy as well as the more recent 2009 film X-Men Origins: Wolverine. The area has also been the location for the films Willow, The Rescue and The Race for the Yankee Zephyr, the first major motion picture filmed in the district in 1981. The town has over 150 licensed premises to choose from, with plenty of late night bars, discos, pubs and live music. The Skycity Queenstown Casino is located in Beach Street and opens from noon until 4am. Minus 5 is an ice bar where everything is made of ice. Only short stays are possible. It is located at Steamer Wharf next to the lake.
