Missed the sold out screenings of Outside In and Richard Henriquez: Building Stories at the 2022 ADFF:Vancouver film festival? December 8th is your chance to see both of these locally produced and directed films together at the VIFF Centre, with two screenings available.
Outside In
What is happening to us as we remove ourselves from nature and place ourselves into high-rises of steel and glass? What are the physiological tolls this displacement takes?
Outside In examines the hard science behind a movement of healthy home design called biophilia, which suggests that building healthier homes can affect positive changes in our blood pressure, heart rate and stress hormones.
The film features interviews with renowned architects about the future of biophilic design, introduces viewers to homeowners experimenting with biophilic principles, and showcases Jennell Stanley, interior designer and mother, and her process in building a biophilic home from the ground up, focusing on the health of her young family.
