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.

Potomac Harmony is Back! Following a gap year of competing, then virtual rehearsals during the pandemic, followed by the well-earned retirement of our long-term director, a year of a director search, Potomac Harmony hit the regional contest stage in Concord, North Carolina in March for the first time since 2018! It was exhilarating, reaffirming, and rewarding!
The chorus hit all of its goals, the biggest of which was to have fun and sing our best on contest stage — we did both! Because we earned a score over 400 points, our new Director, Allison Lynskey, was awarded the Novice Director award, photo above. Additionally, one of our charter members, Jackie Bottash, was nominated for and honored with the Leadership Excellence award. It was a celebratory weekend!
What’s next? So much! We now look forward to upcoming performances, growing our membership, and expanding our musical product with new arrangements and an education component each week. It’s an exciting time to be part of this ever-growing ensemble!
