The Melbourne Design Week Film Festival, curated by Richard Sowada, explores the power of design through storytelling and the moving image. This suite of films project environments, cities, buildings and infrastructures, and the people that design and inhabit them.

Richard Sowada is the founder and director of the Revelation Perth International Film Festival, the director of the St Kilda Film Festival, and from 2007-2015 was Head of Film Programs at the Australian Centre for the Moving Image (ACMI).
