Work Hard Play Hard

The documentary is about working life. Its subject is the office of the present day. Nobody has a fixed desk in these offices. The workers are on the move all the time. The job travels wherever they go. The idea of clocking on is left behind. In exchange the work settles at the centre of life. The film shows how that is put together. Companies look for ways to raise output. One way is office architecture, where the space is designed to produce particular feelings. Another is human resources. There the personality of the employee is measured from end to end, and the film moves between those two worlds. Carmen Losmann made the ninety minute documentary, a German production finished in 2012.
