Pantalla Pavelló | Film series We are the houses we live in: The Interest Zone by Jonathan Glazer

When summer arrives, a new cycle of Pantalla Pavelló begins, the open-air film series that transforms the travertine wall of the Mies van der Rohe Pavilion into a large screen and, through a conversation space, contextualizes in each of the films the role that architecture plays in the way we live our lives.

This year’s cycle, under de title We are the houses we live in, invites us to reflect on domestic space, coexistence and architecture through three films: The Interest Zone by Jonathan Glazer, Casa Reynal by Laia Manresa and Parasite by Bong Joon-ho. Each of them, from very different perspectives, addresses the relationship between people and the places they inhabit, and shows us how the environment shapes our lives and how, at the same time, we transform the spaces we occupy.

This Monday, 7 July, the cycle starts with The Interest Zone film by Jonathan Glazer, presented by Ivan Blasi, curator of the program Som les cases on vivim.

In 1943, the commandant of Auschwitz, Rudolf Höss, lives with his wife Hedwig and their five children in an idyllic house next to the concentration camp. Höss takes the children swimming and fishing, and Hedwig spends most of her time tending the garden. Servants take care of the household chores, while the prisoners’ belongings are left with the family. Beyond the garden wall, gunshots, screams and the sounds of trains and ovens are constantly heard.
