On the first Mondays of the summer months, we will be able to enjoy a new edition of the open-air cinema programme in which films are projected directly on the travertine wall.
A programme started in 2016 that already has a consolidated audience that enjoys a different kind of cinema accompanied by a presentation and a space for conversation to contextualise each of the films in the relationship between the built space, its limits and borders, and the inhabitants who reside in it.

Pantalla Pavelló presents three films that delve into the personal exploration of sons and daughters of internationally renowned architects of the 20th century:

Denise Zmekhol and Roger Zmekhol.

Georgia van der Rohe and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe.

Stephen, Peter and Paul Böhm and Gottfried Böhm.

Architects with a strong and unique personality often inspire their children to follow in their creative footsteps.

In doing so, we find the dual desire to be like the father and to be critical and independent from him.

These three films present universal feelings that have given life to some of the most important architectural constructions of the last century and that have contributed to the most debate.

A debate that is also introduced into personal life because it affects it fully.

Through buildings, letters and memories, we discover personalities, conflicts, and the need for parents and children to assert themselves in their respective individualities despite the mutual respect they feel for each other.

The second film of the series is Concrete Love by Maurizius Staerkle-Drux:

Gottfried Böhm is widely regarded as Germany’s preeminent architect. The son of a master builder of churches, he is the patriarch of a modern architecture dynasty to which his sons Stephan, Peter und Paul now belong. By realizing prominent buildings of their own, the Böhm fils have managed to step out of the shadow of their famous father. But the crisis in the German construction industry, among other things, has stoked the fires of competition between the brothers. Gottfried, now 94, still contributes daily to current projects. With the death of his wife Elisabeth, also an architect and a source of inspiration for all Böhm, the family loses its emotional lodestone. The film paints an intimate and pointed portrait of the complexity and inseparability of life, love, faith, art and architecture.
