Winnipeg’s Architecture + Design Film Festival (adff.ca) presents critically acclaimed films focusing on the importance of architecture and design in everyday life. The films cover a range of design-oriented topics from architecture, landscape and urban design to graphics and product design. A+DFF is the only Canadian based festival devoted solely to architecture and design.
Each year we look for films from around the world that are not available on streaming services or local theatres. Not only do the films educate us about buildings, landscapes and their designers. They allow us to enjoy armchair travel and learn about a diversity of places and designers. For 2026, we present two world and several Canadian premieres of films.
A big thank you goes to the architecture and engineering firms who sponsor films each year. As with all volunteer run cultural events, financial support is most welcome and necessary.
