Moriyama-san

Moriyama-San is a documentary about Yasuo Moriyama: a Japanese art, architecture and music enlightened amateur who lives in one of the most famous contemporary Japanese architectural structures, the Moriyama house, built in Tokyo in 2005 by the Pritzker-prize winner Ryue Nishizawa (SANAA).
Introduced in the intimacy of this experimental microcosm, which redefines completely the common sense aspects of domestic life, Ila Bêka recounts in a very spontaneous and personal way the unique personality of the owner: an urban hermit living in a small archipelago of peace and contemplation in the heart of Tokyo. From noise music to experimental films, the film lets us enter into the complexity of Mr. Moriyama's free spirit.
Moriyama-San is the first film about noise music, acrobatic reading, silent films, fireworks and Japanese architecture.

The film will be screened as part of the programme of the Tallinn Architecture Biennale (TAB) 2019.
