Register/Submit Deadline: Sunday, Apr 4, 2021

"The Architecture Film Festival London announces its 3rd festival edition, which will take place in June 2021. Since its first edition, the Architecture Film Festival London has aimed to discover and promote original ideas, conversations and art forms at the intersection of Architecture + Film. The festival organizers aim to offer a programme that fits personal spaces and shared fascinations without stealing needed off-screen time but rather enriching it. With this purpose in mind, our festival programme will present two sections: The International Film Competition and a collection of diverse, thematic screenings, essays and events entitled 'Capsules'. Considering the UK and abroad's current situation, this year's festival will be held online, offering a combination of ticketed, free and off-line content."
