ADFF:ONLINE Session 3 – May 1-12

Clodagh

2022 / 50 min / Ireland

Director: Oda O'Carroll

Mononymously named Clodagh has been an international design icon for over half a century. She has defied barriers of gender, age, and nationality to forge a critically acclaimed global career. In Clodagh, director Oda O’Carroll tells the story of how courageous personal decisions shaped her life, impacted her family, and defined how she views the world today. The film leaves audiences with a sense of what drives a pioneer in the world of design.

After the film, watch a Q&A with Clodagh and Kyle Bergman, recorded at ADFF:NY in October 2023.

Charlotte Perriand: Pioneer in the Art of Living

2019 / 52 min / France

Director: Stéphane Guez

A designer and an architect, Charlotte Perriand is a creative figure who left her mark on the 20th century. Free-spirited and politically engaged, she designed revolutionary furnishings that have since become icons. She participated in the invention of modern dwellings that are in harmony with both their inhabitants and their environment. Exploring her avant-garde battles alongside Le Corbusier in the 1930s to her experience in Japan and affirmation of a lifestyle based on openness and flexibility, Pioneer in the Art of Living is a notebook of memories that gives us a personal look at a life filled with passion and creativity.

Life, Assembled

2022 / 70 min / Belgium

Director: Elodie Degavre

Architect and director Elodie Degavre looks back on a little-known chapter of Belgian Architectural history– the story of a post-modern enclave in an otherwise traditional Belgian countryside. It reflects a reevaluation of the way housing had historically been designed, an attempt at utopia. Archival footage places viewers in the life of a young Elodie, experiencing the reimagination of housing through the eyes of her architect neighbor. Along the way, we see rural houses with stark steel exteriors, learn of a building designed by medical students, and hear from legendary architects like Simone and Lucien Kroll.

ADFF at Design Victoria

On May 12, ADFF will present Soviet Bus Stops at Design Victoria, a four-day festival celebrating the Canadian city's growing design community. Following the film will be a Q&A with Ian Toews, the film's producer, and Anne Pearson, co-producer of ADFF:VANCOUVER. For more information and to get tickets, click here.

ADFF Alumni News

ADFF alumni director Spencer Wilkinson (Alice Street, ADFF 2022/23), comes to a new sequel short, AscenDance. The film premiered this month.

Building upon the story of Alice Street, this film explores the creation of the new mural ‘AscenDance’ born from the Community Benefit Agreements received as a result of the obstruction of the Alice Street mural. As the pandemic shuts down Oakland's streets in the midst of the Black Lives Matter protests and fight for racial justice, artists attempt their largest mural yet.
