ADA- My Mother the Architect will be the next Pop-Up Movie from the Greenville Jewish Film Festival to premiere May — at 4 p.m. at Camelot Cinemas in Greenville.
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 who, like many successful working mothers of her time, was forced to make impossible choices. The film explores Ada’s career, her role in forming Israel’s architectural identity, and the difficult choices between professional success and family.
Despite personal sacrifices, Ada’s 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, Ben Gurion University, the Institute for Democracy and numerous other civic institutions around the country.
