Architecture & Design Film Festival at A’18!
Screenings, a Panel, & the AIA Film Challenge
Make plans to check out the Architecture and Design Film Festival (ADFF) at A’18! The festival will debut the AIA Film Challenge seed film, Caño Martin Peña: A Blueprint for Better. This documentary short highlights the resiliency efforts in Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria slammed the island in 2017 and left more than 3 million American citizens without power, and kicks off the fourth annual AIA Film Challenge.
ADFF is also screening the feature-length documentary film BIG TIME. An intimate insight into the life of a genius mind and his struggle to maintain his own persona while making the world a better place to live, BIG TIME follows architect Bjarke Ingels over a period of six years while he is struggling to complete his largest projects yet, the New York skyscraper W57 and World Trade Center 2.
A’18 attendees can also attend a private screening on Saturday morning, followed by a Q&A with an esteemed panel. You’ll also receive two Learning Units for attending this session if you preregister. The other two screenings are open to the public.
