An essay about workers and factories. One of the first films in the history of cinema La Sortie de l’usine Lumière à Lyon by the Lumière brothers immediately evokes this relationship. This session is an essay-play between that film and a set of other works that dialogue with it and evoke a space of resistance and change. Curiously and ironically, the session ends with the inverse sense of the movement of the workers, who return to the factory after the conquests made by the unions, but who find a resistant worker, because the struggle is a continuous act.
