Nightcleaners Part 1
Berwick Street Film Collective [Mary Kelly, Marc Karlin, Humphrey Trevelyan, James Scott]
1972-1975 - Royaume-Uni - Noir & Blanc - 90'

A strong self-reflexive film about the campaign to unionize the women who cleaned office blocks at night and who were being victimized and underpaid. Intending at the outset to make a campaign film, the Collective was forced to turn to new forms – rhythmic insertion of black spacing, asynchronous voice and image, slow motion, silence – in order to represent the forces at work. The fusion of political documentary with a rigorous reflection on the materiality of film and the problems of representing class struggle. Courtesy of Berwick Street Collective and LUX, London.
