The Architecture and Design Film Festival (ADFF) returns this year to Washington DC with a programme of events, panel discussions and a curated selection of film screenings.

The films explore a range of design topics including historic preservation, adaptive reuse, sustainability and the works of indigenous architects.

Opening night of the festival will show the feature-length documentary Mau. The film explores the creative journey of Canadian designer Bruce Mau, who will be attending the event and answering audience questions.

Hosted at Washington's National Building Museum, the festival aims to entertain and educate people with an interest in architecture and design.

Dezeen is a media partner of ADFF:DC 2022.

ADFF:DC takes place from 24 to 26 March at the National Building Museum, 401 F Street NW, Washington, DC 20001, USA.
