Watch El Pabellón 17 (2023) Official Trailer

The old Pavilion 17 in Rome has reopened its doors. For two years it has been a space for welcoming and assisting refugees and stateless people from all over the world, leaving behind its past as a detention center for women doubtfully diagnosed as “semi-disordered.” The building is now a space of life and liberation. The past and the present coexist in its corridors and rooms, where the passage of time continues to be visible and the light subtly fractures the gloom.
