My Architect
by Nathaniel Kahn, USA 2013, 116’
MAXXI Auditorium – free admittance subject to availability

If a genius is a global resource, can a son feel anger for the affection denied him by that same genius? The American filmmaker Nathaniel Kahn tries to answer this difficult question.
The illegitimate son of Louis Kahn, one of the eccentric fathers of contemporary architecture, he brings to the big screen the journey he undertook in search of the identity of an invisible father.

Through the visits to the architect’s works around the world and meetings with his famous friends, the images reveal an emotion silenced for 40 years, the irreconcilable contradictions between betrayal and forgiveness, the suggestive bipolarity of art and life.
