Architecture & Design Film Festival

The Architecture & Design Film Festival (ADFF) and Chicago Architecture Center (CAC), in collaboration with the Gene Siskel Film Center, present ADFF:CHICAGO—an international festival highlighting the best films dedicated to the creative spirit of architecture and design.

The festival program showcases films with both a design focus and a human story for a broad audience of industry professionals, design-conscious consumers, and fans of nonfiction storytelling. 

ADFF:CHICAGO 2025 presents 13 feature-length screenings in two downtown venues—with many screenings including Q&As with the filmmakers.
