That’s a wrap on ADFF:LA 2024! What an unforgettable week of packed theaters, thought-provoking films, and incredible conversations with architects, designers, filmmakers, and creatives from across the world. The festival kicked off with the sold-out LA premiere of Schindler Space Architect, setting the tone for a week of inspiring moments and conversations. A huge thank you to our 26 brilliant speakers, the passionate audiences, and everyone who made this festival so special.
