  • American Cinema Editors Presents a Screening of My Architect: A Son’s Journey Followed by a Q&A with Editor Sabine Krayenbühl (NY Event)

    Metrograph 7 Ludlow St, New York, NY

    Our February American Cinema Editors (ACE) Presents at Metrograph is My Architect: A Son’s Journey, Nathaniel Kahn’s Oscar-nominated 2003 documentary about his father, the acclaimed American architect Louis Kahn. The film was edited by Sabine Krayenbühl, who will join us for a post-screening Q&A.

    Louis Kahn is considered by many historians to be the most important architect of the second half of the twentieth century. While his artistic legacy was a search for truth and clarity, his personal life was secretive and chaotic. His mysterious death in Penn Station in 1974 left behind three families—one with his wife, and two with women with whom he had long-term affairs. As the child of one of those extramarital relationships, filmmaker Nathaniel Kahn sets out on a journey to reconcile the life and work of this mysterious man he called his father. Along the way, Kahn visits many of his father’s buildings, including the Yale Center for British Art, the Salk Institute, and the Indian Institute of Management in Ahmedabad, and speaks with renowned architects including Philip Johnson, Frank Gehry, I. M. Pei, and Anne Tyng.
