Join us for a special screening of a digitally remastered version of Nathaniel Kahn’s 2004 Oscar-nominated documentary My Architect (2003; 116 minutes). The film focuses on the extraordinary career of American architect Louis Kahn (1901–1974) and Nathaniel’s search to know his elusive father. Louis Kahn died in 1974 while the Yale Center for British Art—his last building—was under construction. Following the screening, Kahn and Thomas Allen Harris, acclaimed multidisciplinary artist and Yale professor in the practice in Film & Media Studies and African American Studies, will discuss conjuring family ghosts and how the movie camera acts as a mediator between the world of the present and the absent, the living and the dead. Harris and Kahn have made award-winning films involving family secrets that are narrated in the first-person.
