American Factory
Directors: Steven Bognar and Julia Reichert
2019, USA, 110 min
AMERICAN FACTORY 美国工𠂆, the new film from Academy Award®–nominated directors Steven Bognar and Julia Reichert, documents the revitalisation of one long-shuttered factory in Dayton, Ohio, while providing a startling glimpse into the economic overhaul happening in towns and cities across the country — and the world.
The film demonstrates the impact of relationships, technology, and communication on both our work environments and quality of life.
About The Culturist Film Club:
The Culturist Film Club is something I started on April 19, an online activity where participants have a few days to watch a film I suggest, and then we meet online to discuss on a specific date.
My film programming for Louvre Abu Dhabi is currently on hold due to the coronavirus pandemic, and I so I thought I’d give this a try. There are countless film viewing parties online right now, and I wanted to do something different by suggesting a film you can watch at your own pace and time, and then have a few of us get together online to talk about it.
