About the films:

E.1027: Eileen Gray explores the life and legacy of pioneering architect and designer Eileen Gray. Her modernist villa on the Côte d’Azur, E.1027, is recognised as a landmark in architectural history. The film reflects on the strength of her creative vision and the challenges she faced in a male-dominated field.

Her Blueprint, Aotearoa is a local short film that highlights the work, presence, and impact of some of the key women shaping the design and construction landscape in Aotearoa.
