ADFF:NY Day 3

The third day of ADFF:NY brings another evening of films examining architecture and design as living, evolving practices. Across the 2026 program, filmmakers look beyond buildings as finished objects to explore the people who inhabit them, the communities that transform them, and the histories that continue to shape them.

From social housing experiments to adaptive reuse and overlooked figures in architectural history, the films invite audiences to reconsider how the built environment is understood—and who gets to shape its story.
