The Cinema of Architectural Estrangement

This four-hour event explores how cinema can reframe our understanding of the everyday built environment. Through a series of screenings and conversations, local experts in architecture and film studies will examine how cinema reveals overlooked, strange, and unseen architectures—often hiding in plain sight. Part of Contemporary Calgary’s FREE First Thursday event.
