Parkour, modern dance, and skateboarding meet architecture for Tomas Koolhaas' new trailer for his documentary on his father, REM. Funded by various grants as well as Kickstarter, this feature length film is about the founder of OMA, architect Rem Koolhaas.

The trailer, which follows a parkour dancer as he runs, jumps, flips, and glides through Rem's Casa De Musica in Porto, Portugal, is not what you would expect from an architecture documentary. And it just makes us want to see the film even more. 

In addition to this irresistible trailer, Tomas interviewed Kanye West to drum up enthusiasm for his film last month. OMA worked with Kanye and DONDA to create the seven-screen pyramid at the 2012 Cannes Film Festival where the rapper's short film Cruel Summer was screened.
