Architecture and Design Film Fest


The Chicago Architecture Center is delighted to announce the return of the Architecture & Design Film Festival (ADFF). Since its last appearance in Chicago ten years ago, ADFF has successfully mounted festivals in Toronto, Los Angeles and Vancouver, in addition to its yearly program in New York City. This multi-day celebration of human-centered design stories from around the globe highlights ingenuity at every scale—from our natural world to cities, buildings to product design. For this year’s line-up of 15 features and a dozen film shorts, we will be transforming our Center into a temporary cineplex and festival lounge.

The Architecture & Design Film Festival is a unique opportunity to unite Chicago’s greater arts and design community. Come show your support and help make this a new wintertime tradition in our city.

Hosted by the Architecture and Design Film Fest and in partnership with the Chicago Architecture Center, IFA is proud to be a Media Partner of ADFF: Chicago
