The Building Site
Directed by Tiziano Locci
In the historic centre of Palermo, another Italian city ravaged by overtourism, two filmmakers document a liminal moment in the life of a noble palace falling into ruin, where they live alongside other castaways of a city facing extinction, between the end of a centuries-long glorious decline and the beginning of a treacherous rebirth.
