May I suggest the point of view that has been adopted by the festival BEYOND
MEDIA? Through a wide survey on communication and information systems in
architecture it investigates, since 1997, the ways that architecture adopts
in order to extend, through videos, both the theoretical and the practical
point of view in the architectural production.
A key section of the festival is the presentation of video works on
architecture: every edition presents a selection of the most qualified
architectural videos that represent a direct and immediate testimony of the
significance of the international work in this field.
Here the website that hosts the program of the last edition of the festival:
http://www.beyondmedia.it.
The next one is scheduled for the beginnings of 2008.
I hope this can be of help.
