The fourth edition the Architecture and Design Film Festival to open in New York this October 18-21 at Tribeca Cinemas. Created by architect Kyle Bergman, the programming varies widely, but is united by one thing: the idea of the “design film.”
“We seek out films that focus on the process, the products, and the people who create the designed objects that we all see and use every day,” says Bergman, who runs his own design/build firm, Bergman Design Team. “If a film fits that category, then we’re not concerned if the filmmaker is doing this as a profession or if it’s the product of a passion.”
