When architect Louis I. Kahn died in 1974, he left behind some of America’s most celebrated and iconic buildings. He also left a trail of dark secrets and broken promises, including an illegitimate son named Nathaniel. Released in 2003 and remastered this year, My Architect follows Nathaniel on a heartbreaking yet humorous journey, from the men’s room in New York City’s Penn Station to the bustling streets and squares of Bangladesh and Jerusalem, as he tries to reconnect with his deceased father. Along the way, Nathaniel’s journey becomes a universal exploration of identity and a celebration of life itself.
Followed by a live conversation with Director and Film Subject Nathaniel Kahn present on Zoom, moderated by BJF Artistic Director Lisa Gossels.
