Subject: ADFF:ONLINE Series 4 starts today

May 16, 2024


Currently we are offering two films from the ADFF 2023/24 in-person festival. Both films are feature-length directorial debuts. Radical Landscapes was one of three films of the season made by children who were raised by architects and is told with that specific sensitivity. Renowned and provocative architect Rem Koolhaas hasn't constructed a private residence since his celebrated House in Bordeaux over two decades ago, but Point of Origin lets us into his process through an undertaking he cannot resist.

ADFF:ONLINE Series 4 – May 15-26

Radical Landscapes

2022 / 90 min / Switzerland

Director: Elettra Fiumi


Well-received at film festivals around the world, Radical Landscapes is director Elettra Fiumi’s personal journey through scenery of the soul via an astonishing Florence and vibrant America. Following the death of visionary architect Fabrizio Fiumi, his daughter Elettra embarks on a quest to discover her father’s radical past. Her encounters reveal an unknown page of contemporary Florentine history, a world of utopian collages and gardens in nightclubs. Radical Landscapes had its world premiere at DOC NYC in 2022.


Stay tuned directly following the film for a Q+A with director Elettra Fiumi. Radical Landscapes is available to stream globally through May 26th.


Point of Orgin

2023 / 45 min / Netherlands

Director: Frans Parthesius

An international tech entrepreneur purchases an impossibly narrow piece of steep mountain slope in Austria, where he grew up. The building site will only allow for a 4-meter-wide house. This challenge sparks the interest of well-known architect Rem Koolhaas, but Rem has not built a private house since his acclaimed House in Bordeaux over 20 years ago. The process was captured by photographer and filmmaker Frans Parthesius, using primarily a simple static security camera. Slowly, the house reveals itself as the film reveals clues about Koolhaas's process.


Stay tuned directly following the film for a Q+A with director Frans Parthesius. Point of Origin is available to stream in the US and Canada through May 26th.


Submissions for the 2024/25 season!

ADFF receives submissions from around the world.

Our films are about a broad range of topics, all connected to the creative spirit of architecture and design. Our selection of films gravitates towards films that provide unique perspectives about the process behind architectural, graphic, product design, urban and environmental issues, architectural photography, historic preservation, and much more. Our goal is to identify films with impassioned, human stories that appeal to a sophisticated design audience and those with a general interest in architecture and design.


The deadline to submit a film for this year is July 1st 2024. To submit a film click here.
