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.
The heat and air pollution in the Indian city of Delhi is sometimes so severe that black kites fall from the sky. The brothers Nadeem and Saud are so concerned about the fate of these birds that they try to help them regain their strength in their improvised animal shelter. A gripping account of an over-populated and segregated city, where religions clash and people and animals try to survive under the most wretched conditions.
