Judgment
This video-research focuses on women workers in a small-medium enterprise and it inquires the theme of the work-life balance, analyzing the division of work in the housekeeping sphere together with the industrial relations between workers and their employer. The video is originally persuasive as it experiments research methods that shed new light to the relationship between the researcher and the object of his observation.

This story narrates the life of an artist who works in Bilbao, where he crafts music instruments through the use of recycled materials. The authors have lived for a period and familiarized with the artist in order to be able to represent the creative atmosphere of his daily environment so to understand the set of emotions and motivations that drives this artist through his artistic path.

Judgment
The creative and professional adventure of a sound technician. Thanks to the rhythm guaranteed by their original style of narration, the two authors have efficaciously realized a work “of innovation”, a truly creative and pedagogical art project. This story successfully deals with some important issues of the contemporary life: the relationships between manhood, nature and technology, but also between work and value.

Summary
This is the life story of a freelance scientific journalist, who cannot count on permanent contracts and faces therefore fearful and restless thoughts about her future.

Judgment
This work presents the self-portrait of a freelance journalist. It describes, without any ideological compromise, the condition of all temporary knowledge workers. This video explains clearly and lightly the identity and the emotional implications underlying the condition of precariousness, making use of highly expressive forms of language and of coherent strategies of direction and editing.
