Architecture+Design Film Festival (A+DFF) 2026
Presented by the Winnipeg Architecture Foundation
adff.ca

•• 15 years of screening films from around the world showcasing architecture and design.
•• The only Canadian-based festival devoted solely to architecture and design.
A+DFF 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.
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.
New This Year:
• Gas Station Arts Centre is a new venue which will feature the world premiere of a new Manitoban film: 'Meeting the moment – the art of social architecture.'
• Free noon hour screenings at Dave Barber Cinematheque, Dalnavert Museum, Millennium Library and 177 Lombard (Manitoba Association of Architects/ Winnipeg Architecture Foundation).
• All venues are physically accessible.
• A Festival Pass is on sale from Dave Barber Cinematheque for $75. This will apply for all films except the Gas Station Arts Centre event.
• All tickets may be purchased in advance at Dave Barber Cinematheque and you select your seats. Advance purchase is recommended to avoid disappointment.
Please visit adff.ca for tickets and to find more festival information, including a digital programme, screening times and venue locations.
Thank you for your continued support of A+DFF and the Winnipeg Architecture Foundation.
