The past decade has seen an explosion of quality documentary films on all kinds of subjects, and that includes architecture, design, and urban planning. In April, Chicago will host the latest edition of the three-year-old Architecture & Design Film Festival, featuring 31 feature-length films and shorts at the Music Box Theatre in the city’s Southport neighborhood ( adfilmfesom ). The festival’s founder and director, Kyle Bergman, recommended a handful of favorites from this year’s lineup, and we’ve included three— Charles & Ray Eames: The Architect and the Painter, Unfinished Spaces, and *The Pruitt-Igoe Myth—*among the AD editors’ picks of ten must-see documentaries since 2003.
