Subject: Cairo, DC and more!

January 24, 2022

We're wrapping up our 2021/2022 season with screenings in Cairo, Egypt and then Washington, DC.

The Architecture & Design Film Festival (ADFF) is honored to participate in the Film My Design (FMD) film festival in Cairo next week. FMD is the only design film festival in the MENA region (Middle East/North Africa). Their second season starts January 27 and runs through January 30 at the Zawya Cinema in downtown Cairo. As part of our collaboration with FMD, ADFF has curated seven feature-length films to be included in their Design Across Borders program.

Mau
Eames: The Architect and The Painter
City Dreamers
Visual Acoustics: The Modernism of Julius Shulman
Diller Scofidio + Renfro: Reimagining Lincoln Center and the High Line
Five Seasons: The Gardens of Piet Oudolf
Walking on Water

Festival Director Kyle Bergman will attend FMD in-person and introduce the opening night film, Mau. He will also moderate several conversations and Q&As with inspiring members of the film, architecture, and design communities including: the architect Elizabeth Diller; filmmakers and directors Gary Hustwit and Tom Piper; the master gardener Piet Oudolf; contemporary artist and storyteller Eames Demetrios; and the editor-in-chief of Architectural Record, Cathleen McGuigan. For more information, visit the FMD website.

ADFF:DC has moved from January to March due to Covid. We are very excited to be back at the National Building Museum to end the season. Each film will be shown one time in the magnificent Great Hall. To make the sound as great as the visual presentation, everybody will be provided with headphones.

Many of the screenings in DC will be followed by a special Q&A or conversation. After the opening night screening of Mau, Bruce Mau and Bisi Williams will take part in a conversation about their design practice Massive Change Network. After the closing night film, Another Kind of Knowledge, Danish architect Dorte Mandrup will be on stage for a conversation and Q&A. Nathan Havey, the director of Beyond Zero, will be in attendance for a conversation about the film and his efforts with Conscious Capitalism. Justin Monroe, director of Holy Frit, will be on-hand for a Q&A after the film. Finally, Chris Gauthier, director of Mud Frontier: Architecture at the Borderland, will be joined by the star of the film, Ronald Rael.

Submit your films!

On February 1st ADFF will open the submission process for our 14th season. Filmmakers can submit through the Film Freeway website. The submission deadline is July 15th. ADFF New York will open the 2022/23 season on September 28, 2022.
