The Resene Architecture & Design Film Festival is coming to screens all over the country this May. We look forward to sharing this festival with you!
A word from the festival
Welcome to the 15th annual Resene Architecture & Design Film Festival. We’re thrilled to invite you to explore our most ambitious programme yet, bringing together 23 feature films and five shorts, from nine countries.
Our programme is arranged into four thematic pods that guide the journey: Building for the Community – a focus on notable architects and their revolutionary public buildings, The Domestic Experience – exploring how designers are creating unique family homes and memories, Light as Form – a group of films that work with one of the earth’s finest elements to craft their form, and Hand-crafted Worlds – a celebration of makers and world-builders that have refined their art with their hands.
– Kathryn Bennett, Kathryn Blenkinsop, Sara Black & Yasmine Ganley
Connect with nine globally renowned, courageous, and innovative architects who encourage new pathways and experiences across their iconic communal buildings.
