Architecture on Film
The film Palace for the People tells the stories of the four most iconic buildings of the socialist era. In allowing us to discover the National Palace of Culture in Sofia, Moscow State University, the Palace of Parliament in Bucharest and the Palace of Serbia in Belgrade the film bears witness to the historical turbulence that marked Eastern Europe in the second half of the 20th century.
These four buildings appear as unique architectural "creatures", destined to remind the people that they held the ultimate power that would guarantee them a better future.
Each building aspires to be the most grandiose, the most imposing, to boast the world's biggest clock or to use the most advanced technology of the day. Projects that result from a time when the collective good was the principal policy of the socialist state.
Today this film provides a "snapshot" of each palace, commented on by their architects, former or current directors or ordinary people who worked there and who reveal their secrets.
