ADFF Toronto 2025: The Big Brutal Quiz

Join ADFF and the TSA for this first-of-its-kind ADFF event: a trivia night that dives into the dramatic intersection of brutalist design and film.

From dystopian futures to sci-fi classics, no architectural style has cast a heavier shadow across cinema than brutalism. This interactive event challenges architects, designers, and film buffs to match legendary buildings with more than 20 on-screen appearances and vice versa.

This lively quiz show was created by award-winning filmmaker and architect Jord den Hollander in 2024, and will be hosted in Toronto by architect and TSA Executive Director Joël León Danis.
