Re: [Frameworks] Films about labor and leisure--by women
if you speak german the films of jürgen boettcher are worth a good look at. they do deal with work and leisure. especially Wäscherinnen is worth looking at: boettcher portrays young workers in a industrial laundry in their working environment and interviews them about their dreams and everyday activities. ... hard to find, though, in german only (i guess), and from a long bygone period in the history of our societies... -fred Am 13.05.2014 um 17:17 schrieb Chuck Kleinhans: If we could think about domestic labor, there’s a whole lot of other films, many by women, to consider: Chantal Akerman, Jeanne Dielman 23 quai de Commerce Gunvor Nelson and Dorothy Wiley, SCHMEERGUNTZ Carikee Schneenman, Kitch’s Last Meal Lizzie Borden, Working Girls Michelle Citron, Queer Fest (interactive media) Marjorie Keller, Misconcneption (and many other films by her) Joyce Weiland, Water Sark Chick Strand, Fake Fruit Laura Kipnis, Ecstasy Unlimited and all birth films, even those made by men like Water Window Baby Moving, contain representations of women’s labor/women in labor and many many more films if we think about women’s emotional labor in dealing with the family, or a man Chuck Kleinhans ___ FrameWorks mailing list FrameWorks@jonasmekasfilms.com https://mailman-mail5.webfaction.com/listinfo/frameworks smime.p7s Description: S/MIME cryptographic signature ___ FrameWorks mailing list FrameWorks@jonasmekasfilms.com https://mailman-mail5.webfaction.com/listinfo/frameworks

Re: [Frameworks] Films about labor and leisure
I think Kelly mentioned A Propos de Nice, but I’m thinking that most of the city symphonies of that era presented both work and leisure as part of their portraits. Berlin, Symphony of a Great City is the one I know best, since I teach it often, but you might want to look at Rien que les heures, Man with a Movie Camera and other films of the period as well. … R.

I'm not sure if this comes close to what you're looking for but Terre Nash' *Who's counting? https://www.nfb.ca/film/whos_counting* is a great take on a part of life that currently gets filed under 'leisure' (in economic terms) but should more appropriately be re-valued as full-time employment.
