A Film about The Moment of Realization and the importance of building Community after natural disasters.
Statement
Every person has potential, creativity and compassion at the root of their existence. We want to explore that moment of “realization”, where a person sees and understands their path in life, to use their skills to relate to others, to explore their individual creativity, and to use their passion to improve themselves and their world. This idea will be explored first hand in the film through the experiences of Hamid Shahi, as he relates his story to the stories, passions and experiences of famous architects, who have created positive change in their societies while inspiring others.
MOR is a collaborative project beyond Hamid Shahi and Rikako Takahashi. In fact it is a project in conversation with visionary architects, scholars and inventors such as Manabu Chiba, Mark Dytham, Kengo Kuma, Yoko Takaike, and Riken Yamamoto who dedicate their time to improve the built environments in local and around the world.
