Workers Leaving the Office
Workers Leaving the Office is one of the most talked-about movies released in 2013, attracting audiences with its cinematic storytelling and memorable performances.
Project commissioned by the Goethe Institut and the MIT Open Documentary Lab under the mentorship of Harun Farocki. Labour in a Single Shot explores the theme of work, paid and unpaid, through the lens of the single take inspired by the Lumière Brothers. A 35mm hand-cranked camera loaded with a 100' of film has been used to replicate the documentary techniques of early cinema. A hand-cranked projector is also used as a screening apparatus.
