The Fifth Annual Architecture & Design Film Festival is returning to The National Building Museum, January 26-29.
ADFF:DC showcases sixteen films that investigate design’s impact, environmentally and culturally, on the worlds of fashion, art, architecture, urban planning, and housing.
Opening Night kicks off Thursday, January 26, with Alice Street, a documentary about the power of public art and a mural that brought together artists and community leaders in the fight to protect history, culture and voice in the face of gentrification. The evening also features an open bar and hors d’oeuvres.
Friday and Saturday evening’s festivities begin with a Happy Hour, featuring vendors, Little Miner Taco, Don Ciccio & Figli, Other Half Brewing, and Silver Branch Brewing.
Friday evening includes a photography showcase featuring local artists, Ahmed Akari, Steven M. Cummings, and James Singewald, and films exploring international design, the origins of redlining, and modern consequences of discriminatory urban design.
Saturday’s films highlight the world of sustainable fashion. In addition to screenings, visitors can learn more about sustainable clothing at a panel discussion with industry leaders and pick up a one-of-a-kind piece from local vendors Tribute Collective, Bitter Grace or Illicit Rag Vintage at a pop-up market.
The festival concludes Sunday, January 29, with a Go-Go brunch with popular D.C. band TOB, a pop-up exhibition of photographer Dee Dwyer’s work and a screening of the documentary Barry Farm: Community, Land and Justice in Washington D.C. The film tells the story of the fight to protect the legacy of a cherished community that helped define D.C. culture.

For many remote workers, a messy home is distracting.
You’re getting pulled into meetings, and your unread emails keep ticking up. But you can’t focus because pet hair tumbleweeds keep floating across the floor, your desk has a fine layer of dust and you keep your video off in meetings so no one sees the chaos behind you.
It’s no secret a dirty home is distracting and even adds stress to your life. And who has the energy to clean after work? That’s why it’s smart to enlist the help of professionals, like Well-Paid Maids.
