The 11th edition of the Italian Contemporary Film Festival (ICFF), presented by Lavazza, moves to the Distillery Historic District in Toronto. From June 24 to July 16, 40 feature films and 23 short films will be showcased in a one-of-a-kind outdoor cinema village.
The ICFF Architettura & Design special program committee is inviting all to enjoy four architecture films in July.
According to the ICFF Architectural committee, “Architecture is important, and this year’s selection makes connections between industrial design giants and social responsibility to workers, their families, and communities, revitalization of great architectural structures years later, and celebrating the works of Renzo Piano, one of the world’s great architects, who is opening his first exhibit in Canada in honour of his first building in Toronto. “
