ADFF: Premier Film Festival for Architecture & Design Announces 2020 Dates for Tour Across North America
North America’s number one festival dedicated to showcasing international and independent films on architecture and design is pleased to announce the dates for its 2020 tour. The Architecture & Design Film Festival (ADFF) will return to Washington D.C., New York, Toronto, and Vancouver as well as host unique activations throughout the year in New York, LA, and more.
This dynamic season will begin next week on February 18 right in NYC at the United Nations, with a special day of screenings and talks related to global housing issues and injustices that grow more pressing each year. In collaboration with UN-Habitat, this free, all-day event will feature informative panel discussions and critically acclaimed films from the past year, including PUSH (Fredrik Gertten) and The Human Shelter (Boris B. Bertram), that shed light prevalent issues such as homelessness, affordable housing and social inclusion. For details on the UN Screening and to RSVP, click here.
