Between 2011 and 2014, the curator Antje Ehmann and the filmmaker Harun Farocki conducted workshops in 15 cities worldwide that taught participants to make short videos about labor: paid and unpaid, material and immaterial, rich in tradition or altogether new.

This workshops demonstrate how a single, continuous shot can create narratives full of suspense and surprise. Boston University and the Goethe-Institut are organizing an international, interdisciplinary conference in response to this unique project.
