She built a house for herself. Unfortunately, it turned out to be a masterpiece.

In 1929, Irish designer Eileen Gray created her first home—a discreet, avant-garde retreat on the Côte d‘Azur. She named it E.1027, a cryptic blend of her initials and those of her collaborator, Jean Badovici. When Le Corbusier discovered the house, he became obsessed. He later defaced its walls with murals and claimed the space in photographs and writings. Gray called it vandalism. He ignored her protests and built his own retreat—Le Cabanon—right next door.

About Laemmle Theatrers

ADFF is thrilled that Laemmle Theatres are taking a chance on showcasing architecture and design films—stories that often don’t get the spotlight they deserve. We want to encourage them—and other cinemas—to continue programming the kinds of films ADFF proudly presents each year.

Your attendance matters. Going to see a film this week isn’t just a night out—it’s a vote of support for thoughtful, design-focused storytelling on the big screen. And we all know how much every vote counts.

Please show up, and bring a friend. The more we fill these seats, the more likely these films will keep being shown.

Save the Dates – ADFF:LA 2025 is Coming Back!

We’re excited to return to Los Angeles this October for ADFF:LA 2025. We’re previewing a ton of new films and can’t wait to share the very best with the LA design and architecture community.

This year’s edition will also feature a special day dedicated to short films at Helms Bakery.

Stay tuned—more details coming soon!
