"Attention, cineasts and design aficionados. After five well-received editions in New York, the Architecture &amp;amp; Design Film Festival (ADFF) is setting up shop in Southern California for the first time. From March 12 to 16, the Los Angeles Theatre Center will host a slate of 30 feature-length and short films devoted to a broad range of designers practicing at every scale imaginable.\n\nThe lineup includes documentaries on Tadao Ando, Massimo and Lella Vignelli, Paul Smith, and Paolo Soleri, as well as the world premiere of director Kyung Lee's portrait of architect Eugene Tssui, a student of Bruce Goff whose delirious, fantastical designs occupy a magical place nowhere near the mainstream.\n\nPinterestFacebook*Levitated Mass,* directed by Doug Pray.

There's also a film chronicling the journey of the 340-ton granite boulder that stars in artist Michael Heizer's monumental installation Levitated Mass at the L.A. County Museum of Art.\n\nPinterestFacebook*The Oyler House: Richard Neutra's Desert Retreat,*directed by Mike Dorsey.

Times architecture critic Christopher Hawthorne, historian Barbara Lamprecht, and Knud Erik Hansen, CEO of the venerable Danish company Carl Hansen. They, like the subject of design itself, are all ready for their close-up.\n\nArchitecture &amp;amp; Design Film Festival, March 12\u201316, Los Angeles Theatre Center; adfilmfest.com"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
