After Work - The End of Labor
Director
Kuwait’s constitution says that every person has the right to a job, so in some places 20 people are employed for one person’s job. In South Korea, they work so much that a policy has been introduced to turn off computers at the end of the day so that employees can’t work any more. In the US, they give up over 500 million holiday hours each year, while Amazon’s drivers are trying to form a union. Meanwhile, robots are poised to take over most jobs and put the rest of us out of work. Work is so crucial to our identity and what we spend our waking hours on that it is barely noticed anymore. A lot has happened since a group of Puritan priests invented the concept of work ethic in the 1600s, and in the 21st century the very concept of work is in many ways disintegrating. A perfect situation for a filmmaker like Swedish mastermind Erik Gandini, who travels the world to explore what the concept of work means today – if it means anything at all.
The Raft

In 1973, five men and six women drifted across the Atlantic on a raft as part of a scientific experiment exploring the origins of violence and sexual attraction.

Cuánto tiempo, no tanto
Screenplay
La xenofobia, el nacionalismo y la intolerancia son casos diarios. Hemos crecido acostumbrados a pensar en el mundo como algo dividido por conflictos de creencias y culturas. Este corto nos desafía a pensar en una pertenencia universal que no se limita.
La teoría sueca del amor
Writer
Internacionalmente, Suecia es vista como una sociedad perfecta, un modelo en bruto y un símbolo de los mayores logros del progreso humano. La teoría sueca del amor explora la verdadera naturaleza del estilo de vida sueco, explora los agujeros negros existenciales de una sociedad que ha creado las personas más autónomas del mundo

Cosmopolitanism
Director
In an age in which xenophobia, nationalism and intolerance are a daily occurrence, we have grown accustomed to thinking of the world as divided among warring creeds and cultures. Cosmopolitanism challenges us to think about a universal belonging that doesn't confine itself to a city, region on national boundary. —Fasad
Videocracy
Writer
In a country where bella figura is a national pastime, Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi is the maestro of media manipulation. Having risen to political primacy with the aid of his Mediaset empire, he now controls 90% of the bel paese’s television channels including the state-run RAI network. Quantity, it seems, does not equal quality. Fed on a diet of semi-naked dancing girls, inane competitions and rickety reality shows built around the most ridiculous of premises, is it any wonder that Italians are becoming a nation of fame-hungry wannabes?

Abundancia: Acosando al consumidor
Writer
Documental sueco sobre el consumismo y la globalización, creado por el director Erik Gandini y el editor Johan Söderberg. Se ve en los argumentos para el capitalismo y la tecnología, como una mayor eficiencia, más tiempo y menos trabajo, y sostiene que éstas no se están cumpliendo, y nunca lo será. La película se inclina hacia la ideología anarco-primitivista y aboga por "una vida sencilla y satisfactoria".
