The Modesto International Architecture Festival was an architecture festival.
In 2008, the American Institute of Architects Sierra Valley Chapter (AIASV) founded the “AIA Sierra Valley Film Festival” in collaboration with the Modesto Art Museum, the State Theatre, and the Modesto Film Society. Bob Barzan, executive director of the Modesto Art Museum, approached the Modesto Film Society, State Theatre and AIA Sierra Valley to see if they were interested in partnering with the museum for an architectural film event. The four organizations got together and planned the first event. The festival became an ongoing event featuring 4 architectural film nights throughout the year. From 2008 to 2012, the festival grew to incorporate new events, incorporating lectures, exhibits, tours and special events.
In 2010, the festival received its new name "The Modesto International Architecture Festival". The festival was open to submissions by independent film makers from around the world.
