The uniqueness of the architecture of the Brazilian northeastern hinterland is at the heart of the work of photographer Anna Mariani (1935-2022). Anna Mariani: Photographic Notes retraces the dirt roads the artist followed between the 70s and the 90s, when she published her most famous works and helped an entire country rediscover the richness of the facades of popular houses as a phenomenon of visual perception and cultural identity.
A discreet woman, Anna Mariani didn’t like the title of photographer, but she created a series of iconic photographs: Pinturas e platibandas (Paintings and Parapet), a body of work that enchanted museums and galleries in various countries, as well as the audience of the 19th São Paulo Biennial. The presence of her work in this important exhibition highlights the artistic nature of her work.

Winnipeg’s Architecture + Design Film Festival (adff.ca) presents critically acclaimed films focusing on the importance of architecture and design in everyday life. The films cover a range of design-oriented topics from architecture, landscape and urban design to graphics and product design. A+DFF is the only Canadian based festival devoted solely to architecture and design.
We are extremely pleased to have the support this year of Telefim Canada as well as the Manitoba Arts Council, The Manitoba Association of Architects, Exchange District Biz, The Consulate General of Switzerland in Montreal, and the Faculty of Architecture Endowment Fund (University of Manitoba). A big thank you goes to the architecture and engineering firms who sponsor films each year.
Each year we look for films from around the world that are not available on streaming services or local theatres. Not only do the films educate us about buildings, landscapes and their designers. They allow us to enjoy armchair travel to India, Africa, Europe and learn about a diversity of places and designers.
