Subject: ADFF:NY:2024 – Designing Communities

September 4, 2024


How do you want to live? Who do you want around you? What values matter in designing a community? This season, we're excited to screen four films that address these critical questions.


Living Together is about a group of younger adults in Amsterdam gathering to discuss how to form a community and raise their children together. It screens with Where We Grow Older, which investigates two very different models for senior living. Taken together, the two films offer a vast array of examples of collective living.


We also have two films directed by Kelly Anderson and collaborators, both of which focus on gentrification in New York. Rabble Rousers tells the story of Frances Golden organizing her community to save the East Village from Robert Moses' development plans. Emergent City is about gentrification and climate change in Sunset Park over the past 10 years. In 2012, ADFF screened Kelly Anderson's My Brooklyn. All three films are must-sees for New Yorkers interested in what it means to live in rapidly changing neighborhoods.
