Dear Programmers and Bookers,

I'm pleased to announce that our new documentary City Dreamers will have its U.S. premiere in October at the Architecture and Design Film Festival in New York. This important and timely film is perfect not only for fans of architecture, design and urban planning but also for those who wish to bring attention and recognition to women who have faced discrimination or have been overlooked because of their gender.

Please let me know if you're interested in having a screening or a run. I'm happy to send a viewing link.

City Dreamers is a film about our changing urban environment and four trailblazing women architects who have been working, observing and thinking about the transformations shaping the cities of today and tomorrow for over 70 years.

Phyllis Lambert, Blanche Lemco van Ginkel, Cornelia Hahn Oberlander and Denise Scott Brown may not be household names, but architecture and urban planning aficionados know that these women have worked with some of the greatest architects of our time, including the likes of Mies van der Rohe, Le Corbusier, Louis Kahn and Robert Venturi. In the course of their inspiring careers, they have left an indelible mark on several cities across North America and Europe.

But while these great women deserve to be more widely known and celebrated, they are not the only focus here. City Dreamers is above all inspired by what has united them throughout their careers: the dream of a fundamentally human and inclusive city.
"Beautifully shot...invaluable."
-The Globe and Mail

"An inspiring film...a love-letter to the field of architecture itself."
-In The Seats

"City Dreamers should be required viewing for anyone interested in city planning, urban development, or understanding why preserving neighborhoods is so important. It’s a pleasure to spend time with the women and learn from their experiences."
-The Gate

"
It’s amazing to watch the film and wonder how differently the cities of North America might look had they been more inclusive in the design stages. 'City Dreamers' is a welcome reminder of the need to demand parity, diversity, and inclusion in the workplace in order to foster discussions from a variety of perspectives."
-POV Magazine
