SUMMARY:Canadian Labour International Film Festival (CLIFF)
DESCRIPTION:Mayworks Momentum presents selections from the Canadian Labour International Film Festival.\nThe Canadian Labour International Film Festival (CLIFF) is in it’s 17th edition and Mayworks will again present a local satellite screening of short films chosen from this year’s CLIFF selections. \nCLIFF selects films from across the globe that give voice to workers and their struggles for better lives. \nTotal program runtime: 91 minutes \n\nFilm Program:\n\nNola\nby Natalie Remplakowski & Aisha Evelyna (Canada: English) – 10 min \n \nA Black woman working as a sous-chef navigates toxic restaurant culture and her wavering mental health\, until a chance encounter changes her. \n\nYour Own Boss\nby Álvaro Guzmán Bastida (Spain: Spanish) – 18 min \n \nA food delivery worker struggles to juggle his responsibilities as a young father with the impossible demands of an algorithm that pushes him to the limit. \n\nWorking For Freedom\nby Conor Devries (Canada: English) – 11 min \n \nWorking for Freedom is a short documentary that follows an Ottawa-based woman through her experiences of prison labour at the Ottawa-Carleton Detention Centre. Author of Solidarity behind bars\, Jordan House\, provides us with an overview of the frameworks that allow these exploitative practices to continue today. \n\nShadow Work\nby Gillian McKercher (Canada: English) – 3 min \n \n\n\nThis short documentary looks at “shadow work”: tasks that are not part of an employee’s official job description\, but are necessary for the organization to function\, and may be unpaid and unseen. \nUnpaid labour\, shadow work\, glue work\, organizational citizenship. Whatever you name it\, organizations benefit from it. \n\n\n\nLimerent Pittsburgh\nby Anne Ciecko (USA: English) – 3 min \n \nA videopoem revisiting the rust belt city is a site of rekindling of memories and mythologies of labour and family. \n\nMotown South\nby Samuel George (USA: English) – 20 min \n \n\n\nThe electric vehicle industry is booming in the American South\, so much so that the region has earned the nickname the “Battery Belt”. \nBut why are producers setting up shop in states such as Georgia\, Alabama and Tennessee? In part\, the trend stems from a historic lack of union representation there. But workers – and labor organizers – have noticed. And they are starting to push back. How this emerging dynamic plays out could transform the future of American industry. \n\n\n\nGhost Workers\nby Lisette Olsthoorn (Netherlands: English) – 26 min \n \n\n\nIn a film set in which their home offices have been recreated\, six European microworkers share experiences with the filmmaker and with each other\, offering an affecting critique on changing labour conditions. \nGhost Workers is a cinematic research project into the people conducting the often hidden labor necessary to make artificial intelligence work. Working from home\, not being recognized as a worker by the platforms that they work for and being misunderstood by family and friends all together creates strong feelings of isolation. Therefore\, the filmmaker invited six workers from across Europe to share their work experiences with her and with each other. Focusing on the theme of isolation and recognition as a ‘real worker\,’ the film engages in a collective conversation about this type of work.
