If you like your documentaries to have a little more flair and sophistication with themes committed to the craft, A Design Film Festival should soothe that itch for aesthetics.
First launched in Singapore in 2010, the festival has since travelled far and wide to places such as Portland, Berlin, Taipei and Bangkok, with praise coming from the likes of Monocle, Wall Street Journal and The Design Society Journal. Today, it’s one of the most highly-anticipated film circuits dedicated to architecture, fashion, photography, street art, technology and other creative subcultures of design.
This year’s festival will see a collection of even more inspiring documentaries including Iris, the film on New York fashion scene’s style maven Iris Apfel; 808, the feature on the iconic Roland TR-808 drum machine that changed hip hop forever; and Very Semi-Serious, focusing on The New Yorker’s acclaimed cartoon department.
A Design Film Festival 2015 hits Bangkok first this weekend before heading to Singapore from Sept 5 to 13, and will head to New York in October. Tickets are available at $15 and $18 — more details on their official website.
