Design on Film
The Melbourne Design Week film series will touch on everything from sustainability to building a city from scratch.
Overview
This week, Melbourne Design Week presents Design on Film, a unique program of documentaries exploring the world of design and architecture. Curated by veteran programmer Richard Sowada with screenings at ACMI in Federation Square as well as The Lido in Hawthorn and The Classic in Belgrave, this festival within a festival will showcase 13 flicks — including one screening in Australia for the very first time — about everything from sustainability in design to a historic mission to build a city from scratch.
Among the highlights on the Design on Film program are Watermark, an experimental essay film about humanity's relationship with water; In Between the Mountains and the Oceans, which tells the story of the once in a generation rebuilding of Japan's holiest Shinto shrine; and Homo Sapiens, a 'sci-fi documentary' that imagines a world without humans in which our built environments are slowly reclaimed by nature.
