In 2023, the Architecture and Design Film Festival (ADFF)—North America’s largest film festival dedicated to architecture and design—is coming back to Toronto for another year of great films and insightful discussions. Their amazing lineup consists of 20 films, from all over the world.

The Toronto Society of Architects is proud to once again be partnering with ADFF: Toronto to bring a series of panel discussions and post-screening Q&As that complement this year’s film roster. These panels bring together architects, film-makers, and subject matter experts to further explore the themes of each film and bring them back to our local context here in Toronto.

Films Include:

• My Architect: Director Nathaniel Kahn takes us on a heartbreaking and humorous journey of his attempts to reconnect with his deceased father, renowned architect Louis I. Kahn
• The Mies van der Rohes: Filmmaker Sabine Gisiger introduces us to the many women who impacted the life of world-renowned architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. 
• The Genius Of The Place: The Life And Work Of Geoffrey Bawa: Geoffrey Bawa, Sri Lanka’s famous tropical modernist, explores the ever-evolving beauty of life through architectural contributions that are as influential in Southeast Asia as Frank Lloyd Wright is in the Western world.
