Part of Architecture On Film Weekend 2026
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.
Join us as we journey between dystopian visions of the future to documentaries examining how our surroundings influence the lives we lead. Take in the big screen visions of visionary directors including Jacques Tati, Bong Joon-ho and Terry Gilliam and delve into the lives and work of architects like Jane Jacobs and Ryue Nishizawa.
