Architecture & Design Film Festival Vancouver November 9 to 12, 2022

This festival is organized by Adfilmfest based in New York. Similar festivals are held in Toronto and other North American cities.
The Rotterdam program was impressive, and some of the same films will be shown here. 

On my last night in Rotterdam last month, I attended the Rotterdam Architecture Film Festival. I wanted to see Robin Hood Gardens but it was sold out, so I saw Ascension, a fascinating film about life in contemporary China. While I am not sure why it was included in an architecture festival, it was well worth seeing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ascension_(film)

On my return to Vancouver, I lamented on Facebook the fact that we did not have a similar film festival. I was promptly corrected. Vancouver does have an annual architecture festival. It is organized by ADFILMFEST out of New York and I was subsequently informed by the organizers that it begins today and runs through to Saturday. Details can be found here: https://adfilmfest.com/adff-vancouver/

Tonight is opening night and Fashion Reimagined is playing at the Hollywood Cinema at 3123 West Broadway, starting at 6pm. Grethe Meyer-The Queen of Danish Design and Richard Henriquez: Building Stories are two of the films playing tomorrow. 6:30 at VIFF Centre - House 1181 Seymour Street. 

On Friday I plan to see Robin Hood Gardens and Under Tomorrow's Sky which coincidentally is about a Rotterdam architect. 

I am told that 7 of the screenings are now sold out but tickets are available for others. I think these films will be of interest not only to people in the architecture and design profession, but also anyone who cares about design. 

The Henriquez film will be of great interest to those who live in Vancouver and wonder why some of his buildings are designed the way they are! (Yes, he designed the Beach Avenue building with the tree on top.) It's a short 30-minute film but well worth watching, despite my small cameo role! 

See you at the festival.

The world of cinema has brought us great ideas for residential projects that are currently being seen all over the world. One of the most recognised cases was that of the film The Fountainhead.
