Subject: ADFF Announces 2024/25 Season

August 13, 2024


ADFF is thrilled to launch our 2024/25 season. This is our 16th year, and once again, we’ll be showing the best documentaries about architecture and design from around the world. After viewing hundreds of films, the programming team narrowed it down to 18 exceptional design stories.


This year's slate of films is as good as it gets! I don't think we have ever had such a strong lineup. We have films featuring influential design leaders including Eileen Gray, Denis Scott Brown, Robert Venturi, Carlo Scarpa, Emilio Ambasz, Ada Karmi-Melamede, Rudolph Schindler, Laurie Olin, Janine Benyus, Winy Maas, Robin Dondalson, and Thom Mayne. We'll showcase important stories about the power of design to create community, how architects and the environment are fundamentally connected, and the intersection of housing and humanity.


Don't miss the fun, and help us spread the word!


See you at the theatre.
