If you’re in the New York City area on Friday, May 9th, be sure not to miss the premiere of Yael Melamede‘s new documentary ADA: My Mother The Architect depicting the life of the late Ada Karmi-Melamede at the Angelika Film Center. Karmi-Melamede’s work in Israel and New York, where she was denied tenure at the Columbia GSAPP in the 1980s. It joins a string of documentaries produced by Jim Venturi, Nathaniel Kahn, and other children of famous architects, offering a glimpse into Karmi-Melamede’s career while it "raises timely questions about the cost of success and the legacy we leave behind." A second screening will take place at the Laemmle Royal in Los Angeles on May 16th for West Coast viewers.
