Join us for a weekend of films exploring the built environment’s power to enrich our human experience and to remind us of our capacity to create positive change in the world.

Our opening night premiere of Søren Pihlmann: Make Materials Matter will be followed by a dialogue between Pihlmann and Grace Farms CEO and Founder Sharon Prince, alongside Kyle Bergman, Festival Director & Founder of Architecture & Design Film Festival, and Toshihiro Oki, Grace Farms Architecture Advisor.

On Saturday, enjoy a full day of films and curated activities amplifying our longstanding belief that architecture moves us and inspires us to address the most pressing humanitarian issues of our time.

This year’s films have been curated by co-Festival Directors Kyle Bergman and Toshihiro Oki. The special partnership between the two organizations is grounded in the spirit of bringing the worlds of films, architecture and community together in a setting for creating new discussions and outcomes.
