Documentary "SIZA" Captivates Audience at Milano Design Film Festival

The highly anticipated documentary "SIZA," portraying the life and work of renowned Portuguese architect Álvaro Siza Vieira, made its debut at the Milano Design Film Festival (MDFF) on March 7th, garnering an enthusiastic reception from the audience. The documentary, which offers a sensitive and human narrative, diverging from the formal and traditional architectural focus, has deeply impacted architects, designers, and art enthusiasts alike.



Directed by Augusto Custodio, "SIZA" delves into the personal journey of Álvaro Siza Vieira, presenting a profound exploration of the man behind the masterpieces. Contrary to the conventional architectural documentaries that primarily highlight the structures, "SIZA" unveils the essence of the individual, his motivations, struggles, and triumphs.



Augusto Custodio, the director, expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to showcase the documentary in a global design capital like Milan, stating, "It is an immense honor to have 'SIZA' featured at the Milano Design Film Festival, a city so deeply connected with art, architecture, and a rich history. This platform allows us to reach a diverse audience passionate about design and culture."


The documentary has already left its mark on several prestigious festivals and events across North America, Europe, and Asia. Its next destination is the Architecture & Design Film Festival, scheduled to commence in May in New Zealand, further solidifying its global acclaim and reach.


"SIZA" promises to continue captivating audiences worldwide, offering an intimate portrayal of Álvaro Siza Vieira's legacy and profound impact on the architectural landscape.
