Salt River is a road movie about architecture based in Sri Lanka. The film weaves fact and fiction via a trip an architect takes around the island in search of a ‘lost’ garden by the renowned Sri Lankan architect Geoffrey Bawa. Finding the garden might be the goal, but her search is the catalyst for the narrative. The story unfolds as the protagonist travels to remote locations and meets a series of characters in her search for rarely visited but unique buildings. This fable does not end with a “moral”, but presents the idea of architecture as evolving with us, rather than something that is understood as a static object. Expanding the architectural documentary genre, the film’s rhythm is a composition of research material, performance and interviews. Conceived like a building -- with a distinct spatial presence, sequences are constructed to augment the experience of the rooms and landscapes the protagonist visits in her search for the mystical garden of Lunuganga.  Breaking away from a dogmatic western understanding, the film celebrates the power of architecture on our senses, while exploring otherness and the nature of human memory. A collaboration of sound design, music, and visual composition enhances this effect.
