REVFF26: Construction Site
Book Tickets
Synopsis
Filmed over four years, Construction Site follows the restoration of Paris’s Pathé Palace under the direction of architect Renzo Piano. Jean-Stéphane Bron looks beyond machinery and design to reveal the human network behind the project: architects, engineers, workers, and cleaners. The documentary becomes both a portrait of collective effort and a reflection on how societies rebuild themselves through shared creation.
Set within the confines of this exceptional construction site, the film paints a portrait of a miniature society, driven by a common goal: to build cinemas for the next century. From the architect to the journeymen carpenters, from the site manager to the head of the Pathé group, from the designer of the speakers to the future projectionists, the film paints a vivid portrait of this society at a human level.
