About
A screening of the documentary film MY ARCHITECT: A SON'S JOURNEY, followed by a conversation with director Nathaniel Kahn and Michael Pärt. Nathaniel Kahn's deeply personal documentary follows his search to understand his father, the Estonian-born American architect Louis Kahn. Through a journey across countries, buildings, archives, and memories, it explores the life and work of one of the 20th century's most influential architects and the son's complex relationship with the father he came to know through his work. The screening marks the 125th anniversary of Louis Kahn's birth and is co-presented by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Estonia, the Ministry of Culture of Estonia, and the Arvo Pärt Centre.

Critics
7.5Very good
Critics praise the film as a moving, personal and enlightening portrait that illuminates the architect's vision and achievements. They fault it for leaving the father's enigmatic personality and private motivations largely unexplained.
