The Venice Architecture Film Festival is an annual event that aims to investigate architecture, the use of public space and the sense of community through cinematography. The festival is a journey to explore the perception of cities as places of cultural and social development and looks at architecture from an anthropological and sociological perspective, as well as strictly disciplinary, as a tool for shaping our society. ArchiTuned, the cultural association that organises the festival, intends to investigate the collaboration between governments, communities and individuals by titling this year’s edition Adaptations. Over the decades, we have tried to counteract this, we have created a world that, perhaps in pretense, spoke to us of sustainable spaces, places, societies and cohabitation. In the last two years, all this has been overwhelmed. We experience the effects of climate change on a daily basis, geopolitical upheavals are the order of the day, advanced technologies are rewriting the way we work, travel and live every day. In all this, will humanity, which has always had the ability to rethink itself, revolutionising previous models and moulding nature to new needs, succeed in redesigning new models of sustainable living?
