From April 16th to 19th the Architecture & Design Film Festival (ADFF) will offer a virtual festival by screening one film each night, as well as a live introduction and special guests.
ADFF director and founder Kyle Bergman decided to launch ADFF:ONLINE as a way for the architecture and design community to remain engaged and experience several specially-curated films.
Following each film, ADFF will have a Q&A with the film’s director. For each program, there will be a $0.99 fee, which can be purchased by clicking on the link following the film description.
“We hope this online venue will serve as a virtual space for the professional design industry – and the broader community – to come together and learn about architecture and design,” says the organization.
The lineup will begin at 8pm EST and then replayed at 8pm PST:
