Video is becoming increasingly instrumental in analysing architecture and the human environment, and is directly related to the digital networks that underpin contemporary communication.
With the TRANSFER Architecture Video Award, we aim to highlight the contributions that best represent new means of knowledge and analysis of architecture using video, both as a critical tool and an artistic practice.
The TRANSFER Architecture Video Award 2019 and 2021 attracted the participation of nearly 400 short films from more than 50 countries. A selection of the first two editions was part of the exhibition Atmospheric, Filming Architecture at arc en rêve in partnership with the CCA.
Criteria
The main criteria are the short film’s contribution to exploring innovative ways of analysing and experiencing architecture, city or landscape, the relevance of the topic and its social impact, and a high standard of production.
Short films must have a maximum duration of 5 minutes and must have been produced within the past three years (2021-2023).
Participants
The award is global in scope and open to filmmakers, architects, artists, photographers or any individual or group whose video work is related with architecture, city or landscape.
