On Monday the 19th at 8 PM we will be showing the last installment of the three part Philm series Bizarre Biographies, a cross national look of lives represented in film, in an either autobiographical or intimately biographical format. The movie being shown is “My Architect,” a wonderful film about the life of architect Louis Kahn, made by his illegitimate son, Nathaniel Kahn.
The New York Times comments on the film, that “in its formality and dispassion, the son’s movie oddly mirrors the father’s architecture. The creation of something meant for the ages, be it a building or a film, isn’t an endeavor to be undertaken lightly.
Another fun fact from the NY Times: “Kahn, it turned out, juggled three families for many years, one official and two not. He was so secretive about his triple life that many of his colleagues didn’t even know he was married.”
Philm events are not to be missed! Furthermore, this one will have food.
