EthnoKino peeks behind the scenes of bureaucratic procedures and discovers the life and stories of unemployed people with the Film „Employment Office“.
Employment Office
Anne Schiltz and Charlotte Grégoire, Belgium, 2015, 74 min
RAI Film Festival Bristol (2017)
An office interior, a row of desks, people facing each other. This is where unemployed people come to meet with their advisers. What is at stake are their benefit payments. Here everyone has to abide by the same rigid bureaucratic procedures, but each person has their own life and their own story. This film shows what it means to not have a job today, as work becomes more and more precarious, employed and unemployed alike are less and less secure, and the welfare state is under attack and shrinking.
