Subject: ADFF:DC - Films, talks, go-go brunch, and more...

January 20, 2023

ADFF is about more than just seeing films. At the festival, you'll connect with old friends and meet new people to discuss what you just saw together. Films are shown in the Great Hall on large screens and everybody wears silent disco headphones so the audio is fantastic. You'll eat good food, ask questions to experts in the field, and hear live music. If you're in DC – don't miss the opportunity to gather, watch, and interact.

ADFF:DC January 26-29 at the National Building Museum

Thursday, Jan 26 - After the opening night film, Alice Street, the film's director Spencer Wilkinson will take the stage for a discussion with Lailan Sandra Huen (Housing Activist), who is featured in the film, and Eliane Asal (Senior Associate at Gensler Baltimore).
