Film has the power to bring people together – or tear them apart, spur conversation, and transform ideas. It is in anticipation of this that the School of Architecture of the University of Arizona College of Architecture, Planning and Landscape Architecture presents “Architecture Film Festival Tucson 2019” in conjunction with invited festival Arquitectura Film Festival SANTIAGO 2018. The Chilean festival was founded in 2012 as the first of its kind in Latin America. Its Director, Miguel Contreras, will travel to Tucson for the two-day 2019 festival which will celebrate architecture and urbanism around the world and present an opportunity for discussion of issues in contemporary design.
Held at the Center for Creative Photography at the UA’s main campus, a festival of selected award-winning films shown in previous festivals held in Santiago, London, Venice, Lisbon, and Buenos Aires will take place over two days, January 25-26. Ranging in genre from documentary to experimental and hailing from some eleven countries, most of these films have never before been aired in the U.S.
