Hong Kong Architecture Micro Film Competition 2022

Architecture goes beyond the buildings themselves, making them functional public art installations that have strong impacts on both people and the environment. Our architecture is the reflection of our era, our aspirations, and our values.

Organized by HKIA, MOViE MOViE, and sponsored by Leigh & Orange Ltd, Nikon, the Architectural Micro Film Competition 2022 calls for participants to create 3-5-minute microfilms that capture and exhibit the essence and spirit of architecture in Hong Kong.
