Architecture Film Festival Rotterdam – Oct. 7 – 11, 2020
Architecture films investigate the meaning of the city and architecture. They portray cities, buildings and their designers, show that architecture cannot be understood without its context, and investigate the role of the city in our everyday lives. Moreover, they frequently reveal architects and urbanists to be powerless gods whose works, once built, acquire very different meanings and functions to those envisaged. AFFR screens documentaries and feature films from at home and abroad that address these subjects.
