Re: [Frameworks] Films about labor and leisure--by womenI realize this is far too abstract for the goals of the original request, but let us not forget that labor and leisure are never separate. Not merely that one defines the other, but that under capitalism, leisure is part of labor. It’s an essential aspect of it.

For example, I don’t really recall any “leisure” in Window Water Baby Moving, at least not as the original poster seemed to be looking for.
