What stories do buildings and urban landscapes tell? How can movies be used to tell them? The Architecture and Design Film Festival (A+DFF) invites Winnipeggers to enter a short film competition. Registration for the competition is free and open to all. Make a two-minute movie about architecture or the built environment for a chance to win great prizes and be featured in the only film festival in Canada that is dedicated to architecture and design.
What to Do?
- Make a two-minute movie about architecture or the built environment using any digital recording device such as a digital camera or smart phone.

Any submissions deemed inappropriate for children will not be considered.)
