Time for Resene Architecture & Design Film Festival
The fourth annual Resene
Architecture & Design Film Festival is coming to a location
near you, showcasing the most acclaimed and current films in
architecture and design, including furniture, industrial,
graphic, urban and landscape.
Rialto Cinemas and
Clearly & Co are pleased to announce that the festival will
be playing in four locations this year with Christchurch
being welcomed as the fourth city in the festival.
• AUCKLAND / Rialto Cinemas Newmarket / 7-20 May
• WELLINGTON / Embassy Theatre / 28 May – 10 June
• DUNEDIN / Rialto Cinemas / 11 – 21 June
• CHRISTCHURCH / Academy Gold / 25 June – 8 July
Tickets for the festival are on sale now.
Rialto Cinemas has
partnered with Clearly & Co, who curated the spectacular
films for this year’s line-up. Curators Tracey Lee and
Clare Buchanan say, “As New Zealand faces urban growth and
renewal on an unprecedented scale, it is an important time
to fuel the conversation. We hope this fusion of films
stimulates a dialogue and opens minds to the possibilities
for architecture and design in our lives, communities and
cities.”
This year’s festival has been grouped
into themes, so audiences can navigate towards stories they
are most curious about. “We have brought together 22
films from all over the world, with everything from epic
tales of architectural icons and visionaries; fascinating
insight into experiments in urban and industrial design;
intimate glimpses into spaces and communities; and
celebrations of rooftop gardens and garden lovers. The
festival is also hosting an In Memoriam event with Athfield
Architects for Ian Athfield, who we lost earlier this
year.”
Rialto Cinemas Group Manager Kathryn Bennett
says that she is delighted that the festival is returning
for 2015, “We are excited to see the festival venture to
Christchurch for the first time making this a truly
nationwide event. This year we are presenting a diverse and
compelling selection of architecture and design films from
all over the world and we’re excited for the public to see
what we have to offer.”
Naming rights sponsor Resene Marketing Manager Karen Warman says Resene is once again delighted to be bringing the festival to New Zealand with Rialto Cinemas. “Before the last festival finished, we were already getting requests for it to come back again. The Resene Architecture & Design Film Festival is such a unique opportunity for everyone to indulge their interest in, and love of, great architecture and design. The films are thought provoking and celebratory. Resene has a long history of supporting New Zealand architecture and being a part of this festival helps to remind us all how important great design is.“
The festival will begin with special opening night screenings in each location showing a film about a Brazilian architect, playboy, mid-century design star and radical futurist innovator, Bernardes. Tickets include a glass of wine and nibbles. This year we’re introducing Conversation Series at selected screenings hosted by NZ Institute of Architects.
This
year’s festival gold partners are Adventure World and HOME
and the bronze partner is Citta Design.
This festival
is now the second largest architecture and design film
festival in the world.
