Ada
Karmi Melamede is one of the most accomplished female architects in the world,
but very little is known about her outside her home country of Israel. Ada - My Mother the Architect is a
deeply moving portrait of an extraordinary woman directed by her daughter, filmmaker,
and former architect, Yael Melamede. Ada is a true pioneer whose work gave
physical form to some of Israel’s highest democratic ideals, most notably in
the acclaimed Supreme Court building in Jerusalem, the Open University, and Ben Gurion
Airport. (2024, 81 mins)
