FESTIVAL HIGHLIGHTS

The 2025 Resene Architecture & Design Film Festival opens with Graeme Murray’s local architectural documentary The Chodge.

Other standouts from the programme are E.1027 - Eileen Gray and the House by the Sea, which explores the designer’s iconic modernist villa and her struggle for creative control; The Sense of Tuning, the latest from cult architecture documentarians Bêka & Lemoine (Big Ears Listen With Feet, RADFF 2023, Tokyo Ride, RADFF 2021) offering a sensory-rich portrait of architect Bijoy Jain of Studio Mumbai; I am Martin Parr, an enormously entertaining look at the acclaimed British photographer, renowned for his unfiltered and mischievous images of British life; Architecton, a poetic study of stone and concrete materials from acclaimed filmmaker Victor Kossakovsky (Gunda); and Schindler Space Architect, narrated by Academy Award-winner Meryl Streep, which brings the pioneering work of R.M. Schindler vividly to life.
