To The Unknown Architect, 2022 13min The Spiral Minaret of Samarra north of Baghdad is emblematic of 56 years of ambitious urban planning in the 9th century to build a new capital for the Islamic World, shadowed by an internal feud. The ancient poem “Appointment in Samarra” draws an uncanny parallel to the path and tragic death of five caliphs, which marked the end of a project and left the city to ruin. Its lasting legacy is a testimony to the ingenuity of design, simplicity and perfection of unknown architects and craftspeople whom I dedicate my film.
