Minka

DateFriday, November 12, 2010 at 1:00PM

Touching trailer for Minka, a film - that hasn't been made yet - about a 250-year old farmhouse in Japan that is restored by an American journalist (John Roderick) and his adopted son architect (Yoshiro Takishita). John Roderick died in March of 2008 at the age of 93.  Beautiful meditation on place, architecture, memory, and the meanings of home. [NOTE: The trailer was triggered by a book that John Roderick wrote about the restoration experience. The filmakers (Birdling Films) have launched a Kickstarter campaign to raise money to complete the documentary].
