    HARDLY WORKING

    Susanna Flock, Leonhard Müllner, Robin Klengel, Michael Stumpf

    Austria, 2022 | 21 min | Documentary - Animation
    Synopsis
    This film sheds a limelight on the very characters that normally remain in the background of video games: NPCs. They are non-player characters that populate the digital world as extras to create the appearance of normality. A laundress, a stable boy, a street sweeper and a carpenter are observed with ethnographic precision. They are Sisyphus machines, whose labour routines, activity patterns as well as bugs and malfunctions paint a vivid analogy for work under capitalism.
