Rights and safety at work represent the beating heart of Job Film Days 2024, the festival that will transform Turin from October 1- 6, in a political and social reflection center using cinema as language. In this context, Politecnicoconfirmed its commitment by hosting one of the rich palimpsest’s central events of this film event directed by Annalisa Lantermo and organized by Job Film Days EtsAssociation in partnership with the National Film Museumand with a thick network of local and national institutions and associations.
On October 2, Pier-Philippe Chevigny’s“Richelieu/Temporaries” film in national preview in“Emma Strada” theater has been disclosed (Canada-France, 2023): this movie brings to the big screen a tragic, but invisible reality, that of the migrant workers exploitation.
The film describes the story of Ariane, who comes back to Richelieu valley, where she finds a job as interpreter from French to Spanish for the migrant workers of a corn factory.
At the beginning, she executes the orders of the supervisor Stephane, who exploits the underpaid workers, but over time she becomes increasingly aware and starts to take position against Stephane, especially when it concerns unfair dismissals and illegal camera installations. The film illustrates a situation in Italy that is attested by INAIL data for January 2024, which report 42.166 work injuries condemnations, 45 of which were fatal, up 4,7% from the previous year.
The film showing, created in cooperation with CGIL, CISLand UIL Torino, has been introduced by the reviewer Giuseppe Gariazzo and to follow a debate situation has come to life led by the words of Stefano Sacchi, Vice Chancellor for Society, Community and Program Implementation at Politecnico, by Mattia Pirulli, CISL national secretary, and Giorgio Vernoni of IRES Piedmont.
