As part of the London Festival of Architecture, Site&Sound has partnered with the Ennesimo Film Festival – presenters of the Contemporary Design Film Awards (CDFA) – for a special evening at The Garden Cinema.

This event features award-winning international short films exploring design and architecture. Aligning with the LFA2026 theme 'Belonging', it uses sound design to investigate how the built environment shapes identity and community. The event invites diverse voices and perspectives to meet through the shared language of cinema. Each film reflects on how environments are shaped, inhabited and remembered, revealing the ways design can influence a sense of identity and impact the surrounding communities therein. Together, they form a dialogue across cultures and disciplines, using film as an international medium through which audiences can gather, reflect and connect.

The 90-minute session includes a 55-minute screening (with English subtitles) followed by a multidisciplinary talk, creating a global dialogue on architectural heritage and urban belonging dedicated to London’s creative audience. Films shown will include: The Ice Builder, Jubilee Pools, and Leopold’s Sacred Heart.
