Over the past 15 years, British artist, filmmaker and musician Luke Fowler has developed a practice that is, at the same time, singular and collaborative, poetic and political, structural and documentary, archival and deeply human. With an emphasis on communities of people, outward thinkers and the history of the left, his 16mm films tell the stories of alternative movements in Britain, from psychiatry to photography to music to education.
In this edition, we think about fiction. Arquicteturas, a festival known for its focus on the documental moving image about architecture, now opens its doors to fictional work. The selected films will compete in four distinct categories – Fiction, Documentary, Experimental and New Talent, to which we add and award given by the public through direct polling. This year the festival will happen from the 6th till the 10th of June 2018, and will have as theme “Learning from Fiction”.
