One works as a temporary logistics employee, while the other, as a headhunter, seeks specialists to further automate the same logistics. Sedanur ultimately loses her job due to the fallout from the emissions scandal. Automotive explores the current state of work in relation to life plans and self-understanding, presenting a sharp dual portrait of the two women interwoven with historical archive footage, glimpses of fully automated smart factories, and a subplot on the long struggle of union activism. While the recruiter would gladly turn her profession into a calling and escape to the Caribbean, the temporary worker\u2019s dream is a permanent position with the option of a forklift license. (Joachim Sch\u00e4tz)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Panel Discussion<br>Following the screening, a panel discussion will explore the role of social class in contemporary work-related films: Do films like AUTOMOTIVE develop their own class consciousness, or does class as a category of perception and experience tend to disappear from view? What role can films play in identifying societal issues, and how might they give specific weight to political struggles? These questions will be discussed with film scholars and sociologists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moderation:<br>Christoph A.
