What we publish
Aveno is a curated home for architecture and urbanism films — building studies, urbanism essays, vernacular craft, preservation, public space and design critique. Every film is selected by our curators and every filmmaker is credited.
Copyright clearance
We only stream films for which we hold the necessary rights or a licence from the rights holder. Filmmakers who submit work confirm that they own or control the rights to the film and everything in it (footage, music, contributors' consent). Copyright complaints are handled under our DMCA & copyright policy.
Prohibited content
We do not publish, and submissions must not contain:
- Content that infringes the copyright, trademark or other rights of third parties.
- Hate speech, harassment, or content that demeans people based on protected characteristics.
- Sexually explicit material, or content sexualising minors in any form.
- Graphic violence or shock content presented gratuitously.
- Content that promotes illegal activity, self-harm or dangerous acts.
- Misinformation presented as fact in a way likely to cause harm.
- Footage of identifiable private individuals filmed without appropriate consent where consent is required.
AI disclosure
If a film uses generative-AI imagery, synthetic voices, or AI-reconstructed footage in a way a reasonable viewer should know about, filmmakers must disclose this when submitting, and we aim to label it for members. We don't pass off synthetic material as authentic documentary footage without disclosure.
Editorial independence
The daily ranking reflects our curators' judgement. We do not sell ranking positions, and the order is not set by an algorithm optimising for watch time. Placement is editorial, not paid.
