FACTORY

This film depicts one day of an operating factory. It consists of two parts: the first one is called Steel, the second, Plaster. Metal produced by people enslaves them and reduces their lives to pure reflexes. Masculine and feminine, hard and soft, whole and fragmented.

Directed by Ukrainian filmmaker Sergei Loznitsa, Factory applies his signature rigor and methodical approach to an environment rarely observed with such dedication. The result is an enthralling rumination on labor and the human alienation of an industrialized, modern society.
