Film helps take the load off – especially when it’s a world premiere in a theatre with limited distractions. One can completely immerse themselves in a reality outside of their own. Film simultaneously has the power to leave someone with a fresh perspective – evoking memories and emotions, while encouraging thoughtful conversations around important topics. Whether it’s a documentary or narrative film, it’s rarely only about entertainment.
Appreciation for film and appreciation for architecture run parallel. While filmmakers use the environment to be conducive to a story, architects use the environment to be conducive to a person’s reality. AFF is 11 years strong and we’re so glad to have been a small part of it this year’s festival by sponsoring!
