The Architecture & Design Film Festival (ADFF), the world’s largest film festival devoted to architecture & design, has updated its 2021/22 season to follow a hybrid format, presenting full festivals, private film previews, pop-up screenings, and its virtual program.
After careful consideration, the Festival has decided not to host public screenings in September and Early October for ADFF:NY and ADFF:LA due to the unpredictable nature of the pandemic and its ongoing challenges.

ADFF is still planning in person events starting with ADFF:Toronto (November 3-7) and then ADFF:Vancouver (November 10-13), and ADFF:DC (January 6-9, 2022). These festivals are currently continuing as originally planned, but the Festival will remain vigilant in monitoring the recommended guidelines and protocols for each location.
The new schedule allows for ADFF:ONLINE to take place earlier in the year, kicking off during NYCxDESIGN. Originally scheduled for January 2022, ADFF:ONLINE will now take place from November 17-December 3, 2021, and will be available to audiences in the United States and Canada.
