AFFR explores the relationship between film, cities and architecture by programming and screening architecture films and by organizing introductions and debates.
The Architecture Film Festival Rotterdam (AFFR) was established in 2000, and the foundation organized its festival the same year as the first architecture film festival in the world. Festivals also took place again in 2001 and 2003. In 2007 AFFR made a fresh start after a few years of silence. In 2009 the event expanded significantly in terms of visitor numbers and programming.
On Thursday 8 October we kicked off our specials with the Where to with History? debate with Carola Hein, Hans Christian Post, and Stephan Trüby joining in via Zoom. Wim Pijbes spoke about The American Sector and the fragments of the Berlin Wall that are scattered all over the world, while pulmonologist Hans in 't Veen gave an introduction to Smog Town and director Maarten Bernaerts called in from Belgium to speak about his new film Annapolis, Giant City.
