World Premiere: Meeting a Moment – the Art of Social Architecture

15 April, 7 pm
Gas Station Arts Centre

Join us for the opening night of the 15th annual Architecture + Design Film Festival (A+DFF) with the World Premiere of the Winnipeg-made film, Meeting a Moment – the Art of Social Architecture, as the opening night screening.

Written and directed by Winnipeg filmmaker Danielle Sturk, the 44-minute documentary invites architects, historians, social housing advocates and citizens to reflect on the creation of affordable housing in Winnipeg, and why it is about more than simply architecture and design. The film was inspired by the WAF book, 'Green Blankstein Russell and Associates', written by Jeffrey Thorsteinson and Brennan Smith, who both appear in the film. There will be a post-screening Q+A with the director and participants in the film.

Meeting a Moment – the Art of Social Architecture, will screen at a new venue for A+DFF – The Gas Station Arts Centre Theatre, along with our other films at local venues.

Please see adff.ca for the full A+DFF programme.
