Project description in English
Câmpulung Film Fest is an international film festival held in Câmpulung Moldovenesc, Suceava county. The festival aims to contribute to urban regeneration by engaging the city's cinephile community. One of the main screening locations of the festival is the city's central square, where various events bring the local community together throughout the year. The focal point of the square is a vertical element that serves as a support for multiple installations during these events. The goal is to emphasize the square's ability to unite communities and encourage social interactions. To achieve this, a circular pavilion is introduced as a permeable boundary, creating a sheltered space in the center while maintaining the open character of the plaza. There is a continuous movement and exchange of information between the interior and exterior, with activities such as playing, running, rollerblading, conversing, and watching movies on the wooden benches. The white canvases connecting the modules not only enclose and define the interior space but also serve as a medium for conveying messages and generating new ideas for the city in a participatory manner. The pavilion is constructed using local materials and is designed to have a reversible urban presence. It was built with the assistance of a local craftsman who prepared the raw materials, while the festival volunteers completed the pavilion in short workshops. To facilitate construction and enable reuse of the temporary installation in future festival editions or on other occasions, the pavilion is based on non-deformable modules with simple joints, fastened together with threaded rods for easy disassembly.
