Film

Il palazzo

The building

The protagonist of this film is a building. Standing on the perimeter of Rome like a monolith in the open countryside is a municipal housing complex from the 1970s: Corviale. This ravaged concrete structure, which stretches for over a kilometre, has become the embodiment of a failed utopia from an urban planner’s drawing board. Designed as a self-sufficient city, for decades this complex has largely been left to the devices of its 8000 residents.
The film interweaves the vistas of this fascinating architectural monstrosity with the ways the inhabitants see their living space. As if the building had a voice of its own, the off-camera reports and tales related by the residents blend to give a polyphonic picture of personal fates intimately linked with the history of Corviale. Gradually, a space opens up in which the viewer can reflect on the contradictions that underlie our Western metropolises.

Il regista / The Director

Katharina Copony (Graz, 1972) studied media-arts at the University of Applied Arts, Vienna. She now lives and works in Berlin and Vienna. She had grant for art-photography in Rome and London. With Der Wackelatlas – sammeln und jagen mit H. C. Artmann, she won the Austrian TV public education award in 2002. Her film Kanegra (2004) was produced by Nikolaus Geyrhalter Filmproduktion GmbH.

"I tried to get closer to this unique microcosm at the margins of society by describing the contradictions between a large architectural object and the rural area that surrounds it, and in so doing, explore the relationship between city and country, nature and architecture, and the appropriation and the utilisation of such a non-place."
