On the evening of 11 July built environment designer Henrietta Lynch in partnership with Impact Hub King’s Cross will host a screening of 5 short films on the theme of sustainable Regeneration in the built environment.

The event will involve a screening of the five short film finalists; a discussion with film-makers and built environment regenerators; and the presentation of the Gold Brick award to the festival winner!

The films cover an exciting array of regeneration projects ranging from the Bristol Enterprise Zone, to the creation of a village green beneath the Canning Town A13 flyover, to a portrait of the history and future of urban public spaces:

About the Regeneration Film Festival

The five short films have been selected by a panel of expert judges from the Regeneration Film Festival hosted at Ecobuild. The event also doubles up as an Award evening where the winner from the Festival will be presented a prize by urban regeneration specialists Igloo.

The Regeneration Film Festival was originally launched by Jonathan Porritt from Forum for the Future in 2013 at the sustainable built environment trade fair Ecobuild. It was opened here in 2014 by RIBA President Stephen Hodder and the films were screened in a temporary cinema constructed from over 1000 honey-comb pieces of recycled cardboard designed and built by Make Architects.
