Lullaby to My Father (2013)
Film Synopsis
In this film that combines historical events with personal recollections, the author reflects on the way that changes in architecture have reflected changes in society. It follows the trajectory of his father Munio, who was born in 1909, the son of a Polish peasant. At the age of 18, Munio left for Berlin and then Dessau, where he came into contact with Walter Gropius, Kandinsky and Paul Klee at the Bauhaus. After the closure of the Bauhaus in 1933 by the Nazis, Munio was imprisoned and later deported to Basel. He then left to start a new life in Palestine, where, as an architect, he adapted the modern European styles to the Middle East...© James Travers
