🎬 Le premier film de Laura Carreira saisit l’anéantissement des rapports humains au travail à travers son héroïne, employée d’entrepôt pour un géant de la vente en ligne qui s’efforce de rester debout. Un portrait subtil de l’exploitation contemporaine.

Rebecca O'Brien: 'tariffs appear simply unworkable given how intertwined and global the film industry is. I can see that Trump watches Hollywood collapsing and losing its jobs to the rest of the world but that’s because it’s a very expensive place to make films.”

Eind maart ging On Falling in première. De sociaal-realistische film is het krachtige debuut van de Portugese regisseur Laura Carreira en gaat over het leven van een Portugese arbeidsmigrant in Schotland.

The movie you don't want to watch when you are trying to thrive in a foreign country. Unless you're into crying yourself to sleep, that is...
Yes, it is THAT good.

#PCS caught up with writer and director @lauracarreira.bsky.social about her award-winning film, #OnFalling, out in cinemas today. The film focuses on the life of Aurora, who works as a “picker” in an Amazon-style warehouse. www.pcs.org.uk/news-events/...

Amidst all these Studio Ghibli style AI creations doing the rounds at the moment, here's the great Hayao Miyazaki chastising AI creators to their faces. You can see how devastated they are with his reaction. And how devastated he is with what they're doing.

📽️ 'It was more insidious and more endemic than that. It’s not just one company that’s doing this. These dynamics of power between boss and employee exist in any job.'
Set in a vast warehouse, On Falling is the debut feature from Scotland-based Portuguese director Laura Carreira.
