‘People on Sunday’ is a reinterpretation, a response and an homage to the pioneering German silent film Menschen Am Sonntag (1930), literally translated as People on Sunday. Nevertheless, this response is executed from a different context, era, country and working conditions.
This film attempts to provoke the question of neoliberal fantasies’ affects on representability of free time, on cognitive labor and mental exhaustion, on contemporary work ethic, on the borderline between self-care and free labor, and on the paradox between control and freedom via the frame of cinema and its production.
