POINTEUSE ET APRES (LA)

1972 · 23m

I admit today, I benefited at the time of the shooting of this short film with an experimental character from the complicity of a former classmate, son of the boss of this garment factory. I had interfered by making it seem like I was shooting a document about the manufacturing of overalls. But I was there to illustrate the words of a young worker, daughter of a militant CGT of the railway and activist cégétiste herself. The film includes two parts: the ritual of punching out from the first to the last worker and the jostle of the exit into the bicycle garage. The first part is interspersed with 5 mini-sequences of work symbolizing the sum of 40 weekly hours.
