An itinerant project
The Contemporary Design Film Award is an itinerant cultural platform with an international focus. Rooted in the manufacturing heritage of the Fiorano Modenese Ceramic District, the Contemporary Design Film Award connects the heart of industrial production with major European creative hubs, such as Milan and London. The circuit continues to expand its boundaries to bring stories of architecture and design to new international capitals.
