Architecture and film are interlocked: both unfold narrative ideas through space and time, taking us to real and virtual worlds; both start with the imagination and then take on their own reality. Films are set in cities, landscapes and buildings where architecture is a visual shorthand, telling us about characters and plot in an instant, yet a dedicated festival that brings architecture and film together has never before been held in this country.

The ArchFilmFest London is a 6-day, biennial festival that celebrates architectural film through screenings, installations, symposia, workshops and an international film competition. The inaugural ArchFilmFest runs from the 6th to 11th of June and will take place between two London venues, the ICA and the Bargehouse, OXO Tower. Each festival year will involve a new international partner and a specific central theme. This year ‘Scale’ is the theme and Chile the partnering country, whose Arqfilmfest in Santiago de Chile will bring a Latin American perspective to the dialogue.

Architecture and film is a big subject. For the launch of the festival, we are showing how broad the range is, while still defining a clear territory. In the Bargehouse, there will be 60 hours of screening time a day, with documentaries, features, films made by architects, pieces by artists using algorithms to morph architecture, animation, drone footage, VR and winning competition pieces. Julien Temple is showing his city films, Requiem for Detroit?, London: The Modern Babylon and Rio 50 Degrees: Carry on CaRIOca. Iconem use drones to record at-risk architecture in conflict zones, including Palmyra and Afghanistan. Factum Arte have created a 3D fly-through of Piranesi’s Carceri and scanned the tomb of Tutankhamun. From the data they are making full-scale facsimiles, identical to the originals.

Martha Fiennes shows her mesmeric Nativity, a unique digital painting that continually renews itself, while Sophie Fiennes shows her epic portrait of Anselm Kiefer’s architectural Gesamtkunstwerk in Barjac. The Bartlett explore virtual reality. There are forgotten films, and silent films like The Golem with sets designed by Expressionist architect Hans Poelzig. The theme ‘Scale’ was used to select features that play throughout the festival, moving from The Room, (e.g. Lift to the Scaffold, Rear Window), The Set, (The Truman Show, Dogville), The Tower (Gomorrah, High-Rise), The City, (Los Angeles Plays Itself, Playtime) and the ultimate, god-like: The Planet (Inception, Koyaanisqatsi). Many films are UK or world premieres with their directors present. Symposia allow live dialogues between architects and filmmakers engaged in shared exploration. A pop-up café & bar will create chance encounters and perhaps future collaborations between the like-minded.

• Documentaries about architecture / the city• Documentaries about architects• Architects speaking / talking heads• Films made by architects• Films where architecture / the city / set design plays

a significant, central or pivotal role• Films that use iconic architecture in a significant way• ‘Art’ or animated pieces with direct use of

architecture / architectural elements

sCreenings

the Bargehouse at Oxo Tower Wharf will host the majority of screenings and events with a café, bar, and an RIBA pop-up bookshop with a specially curated selection of books relating to film and architecture. The ICA will show feature films, shortlisted competition entries, with director discussions.

syMposia

Symposia focus on live dialogues between architects and filmmakers engaged in the shared exploration of architecture and filmmaking. ‘Doubletake’ will put together pairs from both disciplines, each showing five short film clips that promote debate and discussion. The festival will end with a grand forum finale.

CoMpetition

The international film competition is a key element of the festival. Our curatorial team has selected finalists in each competition category for screening, with the winners awarded in a public ceremony. Their work will be screened and celebrated at both the ICA and the Bargehouse venues.

soCial events

A bar and café at the Bargehouse OXO and at the ICA, encourage chance encounters and social networking, bringing together members of the two disciplines with the general public. We hope the festival will encourage new work, future collaborations, and that it can have a tangible impact on the professions, while bringing them closer together.

Workshops

The Frontline Club is running workshops in filmmaking and storytelling at the Bargehouse, led by Dean Arnett and Bill Shepherd. Dean Arnett is an international award winning, self-shoot documentary producer who has worked all over the world, most notably for the BBC and Discovery. He is also an award winning, media trainer, designing and delivering film and editing courses for video-journalists and self-shoot producers. Bill Shepherd is a production editor at The Guardian and The Observer newspapers. He is a member of the National Union of Journalists and a member of the Guild of Television Cameramen.
