Labour Day

FEATURE DOCUMENTARY | IN DEVELOPMENT

In this immersive, action-fueled slow cinema road movie, food couriers navigate the bustling streets of cities across the globe, driving day and night. Isolated from an indifferent world, missing home, and working under the rule of an algorithm, their lives unfold through warm and intimate in-car shots.

As Labour Day approaches, the dreams and anxieties of the new platform working class come to the forefront. Can they reach for something better?

Labour day was selected for the Kehittämö – Talent Development Lab of AVEK Audiovisual Centre and the Finnish Cultural Foundation in year 2024.
