After Work @Hot Docs 2023
Director Erik Gandini explores how life may not revolve work in the future


In a recent interview with FERNTV, director Erik Gandini discussed After Work which premiered at the Hot Docs film festival in Toronto. The film explores the impact of work on our lives, and how it has become all-consuming for many individuals, leaving little time for personal fulfillment or leisure.
Gandini explained that the film was inspired by his own experiences of living in Sweden. A country known for its strong work ethic and high standard of living. He wanted to explore the ways in which work has become a defining factor in people’s lives. It is often at the expense of other aspects such as family, relationships, and personal well-being.
Gandini also discussed the challenges of making a film that tackles such a complex and universal subject matter. He explained that he wanted to present a diverse range of perspectives. Also, to create a film that was both thought-provoking and engaging.
Overall, the interview offered a fascinating insight into the making of this film, and the important questions that it raises about the role of work in our lives. The film serves as a powerful reminder that work should not define us as individuals, and that there is more to life than simply our jobs
