The Architecture and Design Film Festival (ADFF) is crossing the border for the first time this year and adding two Canadian cities to its roster, including Vancouver. ADFF’s programming kicks off on opening night with City Dreamers, a film that focuses on four exciting designers. Other program highlights include an exploration of the notion of “home” in The Human Shelter, and Design Canada, which is from a 鶹ýӳfilmmaker and looks into the shaping of the nation through the lens of graphic design. Plus, the fest will screen PUSH, which zeroes in on the housing crisis faced by many in cities around the globe — a subject Vancouverites will find all too familiar.

When: Nov. 7 to 10

Where: The Scotiabank Dance Centre and Vancity Theatre
