process, where the boundaries between disciplines are dissolved in search of new forms
of project development.
• How do we use new forms of media to allow us to connect and operate at a global level,
yet at the same time encourage us to honour the local histories and traditions that shape
our cultural identities?
• Is it possible to share diverse stories and experiences in a way that leads to speculation
and risk-taking, not pastiche?
• How can advancing technology and resource scarcity work together as drivers for
innovation and creativity?
• And how can this thinking be translated into the design and production of processes,
systems, spaces, structures, landscapes and urbanscapes?

Fuelled by the magic of film and fired by the desire to celebrate
architecture, the Architect Africa Film Festival was created in
2006 to acknowledge and embrace the astounding reality of
urban living. For almost a decade, the Architect Africa Film
Festival has been recognized and enjoyed by many as a top
quality event bringing together built environment professionals,
students, the media and the public. The selected films are highly
rewarding and enjoyable; and have raised pertinent issues,
encouraged discussion, and facilitated interaction between
audience members and filmmakers since 2007.
In 2016, the Architects’ Collective, organisers of the Architect
Africa Film Festival (AAFF), will partner with the Graduate
School of Architecture (GSA) at the University of Johannesburg
and PPC Cement to bring audiences exciting and thoughtprovoking content on Africa’s dynamic and multi-layered built
environment.
