Logline

Pavilion 6 is a documentary about us, set in a moment we’ve already suppressed and forgotten. Watching earlier versions of ourselves waiting in vaccination lines, and hearing our dialogues from that near-yet-distant past, gives us a chance both to laugh at ourselves and to reflect on how the world we live in has gradually—but inexorably—changed.

Synopsis

Intimate conversations in the vaccination line.

As the long-awaited COVID-19 vaccine brings a glimmer of hope, through candid conversations with people waiting in line for vaccination, this globally relatable film reveals the disorientation and skepticism that permeate our collective experience. Serving as collective therapy for the post-COVID era, this humorous and humane snapshot of a unique moment in time uncovers the threads of resilience and connection that bind us, reminding us of our common humanity in the face of unprecedented challenges.

Year: 2024. / Format: DCP / Duration: 70′ / Color
