Presented by the Society of Architectural Historians for the most distinguished international work of film or video on the history of the built environment
Purpose: The SAH Award for Film and Video was established in 2013 to recognize annually the most distinguished international work of film or video on the history of the built environment.
Criteria for Submission: The award is global in scope with no geographic or political boundaries limiting subject matter or production team. The topic of the film or video must be any aspect of the built environment including the history of buildings, interiors, monuments, landscapes, cultural landscapes, urbanism, designers, engineers, clients, preservation, conservation, citizen engagement, or other topics related to the history of the built environment. Films and videos representing a wide range of methodologies will be considered including documentaries, critiques, theoretical works and documentary recreations of lost sites. Films and videos by independent directors and producers, including those with a K12 educational focus, are also welcome.
Films or videos must have an initial release date within the past three years (2019, 2020 or 2021). Honorable Mentions may also be awarded.
Entries for consideration may be submitted via a link (preferred) to an online viewing site such as Vimeo, to the award committee members and the SAH office by the director, producer, or producer’s distributor.
Nominees will also submit a 150–250-word narrative that addresses the goals of the film/video and where the work has been screened/aired/viewed.
Criteria for Award: The most important criterion is the work’s contribution to the understanding of the built environment, defined either as deepening that understanding or as bringing that understanding to new audiences. A second criterion is a high standard of research and analysis, whether intended for a scholarly audience, a general audience, or both. A third criterion is excellence in design and production.
The Award: The Award will consist of a certificate and citation that will be presented at the Awards Ceremony at the Society’s 76th Annual International Conference in Montreal, Canada, April 12-16, 2023. Following the presentation, the film will be shown at the conference the following afternoon. The Award will be announced in the Journal of the Society of Architectural Historians, the SAH Newsletter, and on the SAH website. The winning film or video will become part of the Society’s permanent archive, housed in the library at the Society’s headquarters, Charnley-Persky House, in Chicago. The recipient will be asked to supply two copies of the award-winning film on DVD (if available) for the Society’s archive.
