BLOOD BERRIES: JUSTICE FOR THAI BERRY PICKERS – Kino Caisa: I Don’t Dream of Labour

Short film series on capitalism, labour and the futures we dream of.

I Don’t Dream of Labour explores how capitalism and neoliberalism affect the way we think and conceive of work.

The programme is split into four evenings of short films which all consider different aspects of capitalism’s human toll. The films draw from feminist, decolonial and anti-capitalist perspectives. Where some filmmakers document the erosion of workers’ rights, others engage in critique by laughing at the absurdity of capitalism. Ultimately, the works included in the programme all highlight the strength in our collective refusals to work.

Together, we ask: why should we be expected to dream of labour? What other dreams do we hold dear? And how can we act to change the conditions of our subjugation?

The films will have english subtitles and the discussion panels will be in english.

The programme is curated by Adalmiina Erkkola, a cultural producer interested in the political potential of film. They also host the No Man’s Land radio show at IDA Helsinki.
