The World We’ve Built

“Our built environment, and more specifically the value that we attach to it, can evoke emotion, drive culture, and help to define us. Preserving the places and buildings that we value creates a sense of pride and ownership by uniting us under a common theme, our history. Recognizing and nurturing our past forms the building blocks of our future. It ensures a sense of place while recognizing diversity within our global market.

This 21st annual WIFF explores the value of heritage, community, honesty, and culture. With honesty in E.1027 Eileen Gray and the House by the Sea, with community in Sitting Still, with culture in The Great Arch, and with heritage in The Lost City of Melbourne.

We hope these films help us to see how honouring the built environment means to honour, respect, and value our culture and heritage in the past, present, and future.”
