The Capsules section aims to give space to multiple curatorial voices by releasing them from a single, binding festival theme. Each Capsule follows a similar format, incorporating a mix of films, essays, photography, drawing, interviews, music, podcasts and other materials.
Special film events are organized in partnership with local institutions and dedicated to the vibrant topics in the intersection of film and architecture, including special guests and lecturers, allowing interaction with the audience through panel discussions and Q&A's.
