Description

The Architecture & Design Film Festival (ADFF) comes to Coquitlam this autumn to kick-off the cultural programming at TriCity Pavilion. 

OCT 26. 11AM-12PM OR 2PM-3PM 

Following a sold-out event last month, the Architecture and Design Film Festival and Nemesis Coffee are bringing another exclusive Sunday Matinée screening to the Gallery Theatre at TriCity Pavilion. 

"My Playground" explores the way Parkour and Free running is changing the perception of urban space and how the spaces and buildings they are moving on are changing them. Mainly set in Copenhagen the film follows Team JiYo as they explore the city and encounter the obstacles it presents. Award winning architect Bjarke Ingels, founder of BIG Architects, is fascinated by the way Team JiYo convey architecture and takes the team to his buildings, to explore and unfold their skills, that may be just as groundbreaking as the architecture itself. The film travels around the world from Denmark to Japan, United States, United Kingdom, and China to explore where the urban mobility is heading. Team JiYo has a dream of making the biggest dedicated parkour park in the world, but isn't parkour and free running supposed to be in the city and not in a fixed environment? Kaspar Astrup Schröder set out to more closely examine the way that traceurs interact with architecture - honing in on parkour and urban mobility in modern cities spaces via Team JiYo and the people that determine how the space is shaped within our cities. 

As part of the Matinée screening, guests will be served a Nemesis coffee and a pastry included in your ticket purchase, as well as a limited-edition gift, exclusive to the event. Join us for the exclusive screening and experience an extraordinary journey into one of the most visionary works of residential architecture ever imagined.
