How it works
Our curators screen far more architecture and urbanism films than ever reach the page — festival shorts, studio process films, building studies and city essays.
Each morning we order a single selection by what's most worth your time today, with the day's strongest film at number one.
Open Aveno, start at the top, and spend ten thoughtful minutes really looking at a building or a city instead of hunting for one.
Why Aveno
Endless feeds give you everything and recommend nothing. Aveno gives you one ranked selection of architecture and urbanism films a day — chosen by people who care how a city is built.
A single ranked selection refreshed every morning at midnight — not an infinite wall that makes the choosing your problem.
Irene Vidal and a small team watch far more than they publish, then rank what's genuinely worth your attention in the city-and-design space.
Building studies, urbanism, vernacular craft and design critique — films with a point of view about how places are made and lived in.
Clear renewal terms, a real money-back path, and cancellation in a couple of clicks. No retention maze, no dark patterns.
What we stand for
One ranked list a day in city & design films, refreshed at local midnight.
Trial terms, renewal price and cancellation stated plainly before you pay.
We credit every filmmaker and link a submissions path for new work.
We rank and stop. The goal is to help you watch less, but better.

From the founder
“I trained as an architect before I ever edited a frame, and the thing that pushed me toward film was simple: most of us never get to stand inside the buildings we admire. Aveno is my attempt to fix that, one morning at a time. Every day my small team and I watch far more than we publish, then rank a single selection of city and design films so you don't have to dig through endless feeds to find something worth your attention. We care about how a stair turns, how light lands on concrete, how a neighbourhood actually lives. Spend less time choosing what to watch, and more time really looking. That is the whole idea, and it is why I get up early.”

Questions
You get 7 days of full access to the entire archive and every day's ranked selection. You won't be charged until the trial ends, and you can cancel any time before then to avoid a charge.
Yes. Beyond the free trial, we offer a 7-day money-back guarantee on your first paid charge. If Aveno isn't for you, email [email protected] within 7 days of that charge and we'll refund it.
Aveno works in any modern web browser on desktop, laptop, tablet and phone. We don't currently offer native mobile, smart-TV or offline-download apps, and we won't claim features we haven't built.
After the free trial, your membership renews automatically at the plan price you chose (monthly or annual) until you cancel. We email you before the trial ends so there are no surprises.
Our curators, led by Irene Vidal, watch far more films than we publish and rank a single daily selection by editorial judgement — relevance, craft and how much we think it's worth your time today.
Every day at 00:00 in your own local timezone. The on-screen countdown shows exactly how long until the next selection goes live.
Not yet. Aveno is a streaming-only web service today. We'd rather under-promise than advertise offline downloads we don't actually support.
Aveno is operated by Kivisild Studios OÜ, based at Paekivi tn 2-5, 11411 Tallinn, Estonia. You can reach us at [email protected].
A membership is intended for one person's personal, non-commercial use. We may offer additional seats in future, but for now please don't share login credentials.
Payments are handled over an encrypted (SSL) connection and we never store full card details on our own servers. Checkout opens once our subscription setup is fully connected.
Yes — we credit every filmmaker and welcome submissions. Email [email protected] with a link and a short note, and our curators will take a look.
No. The selection is re-ranked every single day, so today's #1 is rarely tomorrow's. The whole point is a fresh, finite list each morning rather than a permanent leaderboard.
