As part of the Stg. theme week "Von Superkräften und Alltagsheld*innen", the Werkstatthaus is presenting the film on 20.05.26: "I, Daniel Blake" by Ken Loach

We start on 20.05.26 at 8 pm with the first film.
Films between everyday life, art and society
With the new film series IN ARBEIT, Werkstatthaus Stuttgart is launching a regular film and discussion format that deals with work as a reality of life, a social relationship and personal experience. In six film evenings, the series will show international auteur films that move beyond classic success stories and instead focus on everyday life, precarity, dignity and self-determination.
"I, Daniel Blake" by Ken Loach will kick off the series on 20.05.26 at 8 pm - a haunting film about bureaucracy, structural violence and the question of dignity in a system that reduces people to their usability. The film exemplifies the thematic focus of the series: work is not dealt with here as an abstract concept, but as a concrete experience in the field of tension between dependency, resistance and self-assertion.
The series continues with films such as Nomadland, Fallen Leaves and Paterson - works that are characterized by a precise cinematic style and do not explain social reality, but make it tangible.
Film as a space of experience
IN ARBEIT understands film as more than mere projection: as an aesthetic space of experience in which perception, emotion and reflection come together. Each evening is supplemented by a curatorial intro and an open discussion. The talks are deliberately designed as dialogs and invite the audience to contribute their own perspectives.
Admission is free!
