SUBMISSIONS FOR THE 2015 FESTIVAL ARE NOW OPEN!
Over the past three years we have been culling a library of films that showcase the city as an important cultural hub of communities. These videos, short films, and feature length films highlight all of the different aspects of urban living. With categories ranging from Architecture and Street Design to Urban Gardening and Bike Lanes, the New Urbanism Film Festival represents the entirety of the urbanism renaissance .
++++++++
Do you have a feature film, short film, webseries, animation, short doc, video essay that explores the city? That admires architecture? Argues for walk-ability? Presents a solution for sprawl? Inspires civic pride? Whether it is a documentary, comedy, fiction or non-fiction, it is an important part of getting the message out that our cities are important and we can make them even better places to live, learn, work, shop, and play.

The New Urbanism Film Festival was created to move the conversation about urban planning out of the text book and beyond the council chambers and into the movie theater.
How we design our cities effects everyone, not just legislatively and academically, but in a real day to day sense. Safe sidewalks and open spaces encourage healthy lifestyle habits for ourselves and our community. Not to mention safe driving and more bicycling, etc.
To encourage a broader audience for planning conversations we founded a film festival. To generate better films about the issues of planning, we made it a competition. We hope that through the screenings of these films we will regenerate a dialogue between the academic, the advocate, the planner, and the public.
Now in our third year, we are reaching even broader audiences, inviting more voices to join the conversation about creating better places.
The 2015 Festival will be held October 8-11 in Los Angeles at the ACME Theater:
