ADFF is the nation’s largest film festival devoted to the subject of architecture and design. Titles on this year’s roster include: Brooklyn Farmer, which showcases the unique challenges of a group of urban farmers working on Brooklyn rooftops; Who Dares Wins: Zaha Hadid, a profile of one of the world’s most prolific female architects; and Maker, about the maker movement and its impact on society, culture and economy in the US.
The festival will kick off with the world premier of Gray Matters, a documentary about Eileen Gray, the 20th-century female architect, artist, and designer. The full-length film directed by Marco Orsini explores Gray’s life and career, the historical significance of which have been overlooked until recently.

The Cathedral of Culture series brings together six award-winning directors, each of whom have selected an iconic building to star in their films. The series includes: The Salk Institute by Robert Redford; The Oslo Opera House by Margreth Olin; The Berlin Philharmonic by Wim Wenders; Centre Pompidou by Karim Aïnouz; Halden Prison by Michael Madsen; and The National Library of Russia by Michael Glawogger. These films ask the question, “If buildings could talk, what would they say about us?”
