Parma's Manzini Off Hosts Film Series on Architecture and Inner Cities

The Manzini Off – WoPa in Parma, Italy, will host the film series 'Lo spazio dell'anima – Cinema e architettura' every Monday in July at 21:30. Organized by the Comune di Parma and the Ordine degli Architetti PPC di Parma, in collaboration with Manzini Off (a urban regeneration project run by Cooperativa sociale Emc2), the series explores the deep relationship between architecture and human experience. The program opens on July 6 with Agnès Varda and JR's 'Visages, Villages' (2017), which uses public spaces as canvases for large-scale photographic installations. July 13 features Alfonso Cuarón's 'Roma', set in a 1970s Mexico City home that mirrors social hierarchies. On July 20, Rodrigo Plá's 'La Zona' critiques gated communities and urban segregation. The series concludes July 27 with Orson Welles's 'The Process', adapted from Kafka, depicting architecture as bureaucratic oppression. The screenings aim to revitalize public space and foster community engagement.
