ADFF:Vancouver Schedule | Thursday, November 6

4 screenings, 3 Q&As

6:00pm

Building on the Edge

2025 / 73 min / US

Directors: Bruce Borosky and Mike Scalisi

Few architects ever have the chance to design buildings for one of the most extreme environments on Earth—Antarctica. When scientists at NOAA grew frustrated by the poor design quality available within strict government budgets, they took an unconventional leap: they invited the University of Colorado’s Master of Architecture Design/Build class to take on the challenge.

+ Q&A with University of Colorado Denver Professor Eric Sommerfeld and the directors, moderated by USB SALA Director pro tem Blair Satterfield

Kensington Market: Heart of the City

2024 / 104 min / Canada

Director: Stuart Clarfield

Kensington Market: Heart of the City is a richly textured portrait of one of Toronto’s most storied neighborhoods. It is an ever-evolving enclave shaped by more than 160 years of immigration, artistry, and individuality. Change is part of its DNA, but today the jarring acceleration of rapid gentrification threatens Kensington Market’s fragile balance.

At the Garden's Pace

2024 / 70 min / Netherlands

Director: Juan Benavides

At the Garden’s Pace tracks a design-build process of a striking new modern pavilion within a botanical garden dedicated to conifers in the Dutch town of Hilversum. Under the watchful eyes of local residents, the architect-builders put on overalls and work shoes and navigate the year-long process. This hypnotic, deliberate film pulls you into the unhurried rhythm of the garden and rewards you for your attention.

Miralles

2024 / 90 min / Spain

Director: Maria Mauti

Miralles is a visually striking journey into the life and work of Catalan architect Enric Miralles, whose brilliant mind was taken from the world too soon when he passed away just before his 50th birthday. The film revisits the legacy of a visionary who was only beginning to show the full scope of his genius.
