Film Screening | We the Others

at Gene Siskel Film Center

164 N. State St., Chicago, IL 60601

We The Others is a captivating film about Brazilian brothers and design icons Fernando and Humberto Campana whose studio, Estudio Campana, gained international recognition for its unique approach to design. Over the past 40 years, the Campana brothers left an indelible mark on the design world, blurring the lines between art, craft, and furniture.

Shot several years after Fernando’s passing, Humberto, the surviving brother, leads audiences through the brothers’ humble beginnings, their prolific creative journey, and their enduring commitment to social and environmental impact. With behind-the-scenes access, the documentary explores Parque Campana, the studio’s latest initiative—an architectural park that is a tribute to creativity rooted in community, craft, and nature. Reflecting on his father’s background as an agronomist, Humberto notes, “Nature is our Louvre! People must see this richness.”

This screening is presented by Chicago Architecture Center as part of the Architecture & Design Film Festival: CHICAGO. From February 19—22, 2026, the festival presents 10 feature-length screenings in two downtown venues—with many screenings including Q&As with the filmmakers.
