Ada Karmi Melamede is one of the most accomplished architects in the world, but very little is known about her outside her home country.
Ada - My Mother The Architect is a deeply moving portrait of an extraordinary woman, a true pioneer who, like many successful working mothers of her time, was forced to make impossible choices. Despite personal sacrifices, Ada's work gave physical form to some incredible buildings, most notably in the acclaimed Supreme Court building, the Open University, Ben Gurion University, and numerous civic institutions.
ADA profiles a woman and artist deeply tested by the realities of career, home and motherhood, and a unique mother-daughter bond.
"In filmmaker Yael Melamede’s biographical film about her mother, pioneering Israeli architect Ada Karmi-Melamede, the two ways of seeing the world and telling a story come together." Nell Minow, RogerEbert.com
