Craft. Labour. Practice. Drudgery. Vocation. We work every day, sometimes with joy and a sense of fulfillment, sometimes with loathing and a sense of alienation. We labour for pay, for free, or for barter; we exert ourselves for overlords, for ourselves, or for our communities. These animated films from across the country and across the decades reflect on the ups and downs of our experiences as beings who toil and strive. And what medium could be more fitting than the labour-intensive delight of animation? Presented in partnership with Mayworks.
Lindsay McIntyre’s homage to the skill and love of work her great-grandmother did on her amauti, animated through Super-16 cinematography.
NOTE: this film contains strobing.
