ADFF:ONLINE starts tomorrow! From April 3 until April 14, you can stream The Genius of the Place: The Life and Work of Geoffrey Bawa (available worldwide) and The Promise: Architect B.V. Doshi (available in the US and Canada). Tickets are $6 per film. This is the first of eight sessions of films that make up the ADFF:ONLINE program.

ADFF:ONLINE Session 1 – April 3-14

The Genius of the Place: The Life and Work of Geoffrey Bawa

2023 / 80 min / Sri Lanka

Director: Afdhel Aziz

Director Afdhel Aziz introduces us to five of Geoffrey Bawa’s projects through his own personal connection to the work. We encounter an ocean fortress, a jungle palace, groundbreaking private homes, and the country estate where Bawa’s ashes are buried.

The Promise: Architect B.V. Doshi

2023 / 90 min / Germany

Director: Jan Schmidt-Garre

Balkrishna Doshi, one of India’s most influential 20th-century architects, passed away in 2023 at 95 years old. The Promise provides audiences with the gift of getting to know Doshi, a soft-spoken humanist with distinctly modern designs.

The second ADFF:ONLINE session will take place April 17-28 and is all about Meis van der Rohe. You'll be able to stream The Mies van der Rohes, a selection from this year's festival which tells the story of Mies' personal life through the eyes of his eldest daughter Georgia. We are offering another film focuseing on Mies' architecture, Regular or Super, Views on Mies van der Rohe. This is the 20th anniversary of the film. The title references both Mies' gas station design in Montreal and his entire body of work. This excellent film by Montreal filmmaker Joseph Hillel stands the test of time. In 2019, Hillel's film City Dreamers opened ADFF:NY.

ADFF Alumni News

ADFF Alum Virpi Suutari (Aalto: Architect of Emotions, ADFF 2020) premiered her new film, Once Upon a Time in a Forest, at the prestigious CPH:DOX in Copenhagen.

Her new film follows two young activists as they fight to save the vast Finnish forests. The film is both an ode to nature, the wonders of Finnish old-growth coniferous forests and woodland animals, and to the passionate youth fighting to protect them. It was one of 12 films nominated for a Dox:Award at the festival.
