Architecture On Film Weekend

Join us for a whole weekend of films and architecture as we take a look at architecture through the eyes of the filmmakers past and present. From dystopian visions of the future, to quirky period films, the visions of filmmakers have captured architecture at its best. Filmmakers like Wes Anderson, Ridley Scott, David Byrne, Mamoru Oshii, Victor Kossakovsky and architects like Eileen Gray and Sigurd Lewerentz.

Tickets are available to individual events, or purchase a pass at this page to attend all events at a significant discount. Once you have bought a pass you will need to secure your seats in each individual screening. Please do this by adding tickets to the relevant films to your basket. These will reduce down to zero cost during the checkout process.

Thank you to our kind event sponsors Altro, RIBA, CE Midlands, Johnson Tiles and Taylor Maxwell.
