COMING SOON
Thursday, October 17 8:30pm Friday, October 18 8pm SAGRADA ADFF FILM SCREENING La Sagrada Familia in Barcelona is a unique and fascinating building project with Antoni Gaudi, an enormous number of workers and a history full of extreme highs and lows. The history of this building, which has been under construction since 1882 and is today only half finished, is the point of departure for a film about this mysterious process of creation, the question of our human creative power and to what ends it is used. The dirctor Stefan Haupt will be present for a Tribeca Cinemas 54 Varick Street New York, NY www.adfilmfest.com

Q&A prior to the screening. Image: Sagrada Mystery of Creation, Stefan Haupt, Switzerland, 2012, 95 min. Friday, October 18 10pm Sunday, October 20 9:30pm THE INTERIOR PASSAGE ADFF FILM SCREENING Told through the eyes of Yumiko Yamada, a young Japanese architect living in Lausanne who narrates the film, the viewer becomes acquainted with the players of a major architecture adventure: the construction of the Learning Center at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne. Through Yumikos encounters we learn more about the architectural and technical tour de force embodied in this avant-garde building designed by the Japanese architecture firm SANAA, and how important the educational, symbolic, financial and political deliberations were for this enterprise. Image: The Interior Passage, Pierre Maillard, Switzerland, 2010, 82 min. ZIMMERMANN & DE PERROT NY PREMIERE In this trailblazing work directed by the inventive Swiss duo Zimmermann & de Perrot, seven performers inhabit a topsyturvy world where, at any moment, the ceiling can become a floor, a floor can become a wall, and a door can become a chasm. Conceived by choreographer Martin Zimmermann and composer Dimitri de Perrot, who performs his ecstatic original scors, Hans was Heiri offers a hilarious portrait of human relationships conveyed through a witty scenic language all its own.
