"Ohne Chefs - Demokratie bei der Arbeit" + Filmgespräch danach

In the organizer's words:

WANDEL.KINO AT THE RAUPE

With our "WANDEL.KINO" film series, we are delighted to show you inspiring films that have had a lasting impact on us: Films that set socio-political impulses, that make you want to engage more deeply with social and/or ecological issues. Films that highlight grievances and make us think. Films that are uncomfortable and make us aware of our privileges. Films that also open up spaces for new possibilities and opportunities and encourage us to get started right away. Films that portray the beauty of our world and motivate us to break our routines and patterns in order to fight for their preservation in times of crisis.

THIS TIME: "WITHOUT BOSSES - DEMOCRACY AT WORK" (D, 2025) INCLUDING FILM DISCUSSION AFTERWARDS

Some people cannot imagine life without work. Hardly anyone can even imagine working without a boss. Yet there are already projects today that manage entirely without bosses. We embark on a journey into another world: an alternative economy that wants and needs to function within the omnipresent capitalism. An alternative that is constantly at war. Because solidarity, community economies and mutual aid are not the norm - they are hard-won exceptions. People talk about how they dedicate their lives to the idea of a better future. How they support each other in solidarity and how they oppose exploitation and dehumanization. "Without bosses" is intended to be accessible and pick up people who have always thought that there is nothing other than working under bosses. And we show the people behind the ideas of "democracy at work" and that they are still completely normal people.

TALK & DISCUSSION AFTERWARDS

We are particularly pleased that director Mario Burbach will be at the event to answer your questions about the film. We will also be welcoming members of Stuttgart's collective and self-managed organizations, who will be reporting live from the field. Discover perspectives, learn about backgrounds, exchange experiences - stay tuned!
