On October 7, Parsifal Reparato’s documentary  SHE screened at the Polytechnic University of Turin as part of Job Film Days, sparking a discussion on technological innovation, labor rights, gender inequalities, and social responsibility.

On October 7, 2026, SHE, the documentary directed by Parsifal Reparato, was presented at the Polytechnic University of Turin as part of Job Film Days, during an event organized in collaboration with CGIL, CISL, and UIL Turin.

The screening provided an important opportunity to reflect on the contradictions of contemporary technological production, bringing attention to the people, working conditions, and often invisible inequalities behind the digital devices we use every day.

The event was introduced by Professor Tania Cerquitelli, who emphasized the importance of questioning the human, social, and economic conditions that make technological production possible, as well as the need to develop a critical perspective on innovation.

The documentary was presented by Emma Ferulano, co-writer of SHE, who discussed the origins of the project, its ethnographic research process, and the development of a collective narrative that gives voice, complexity, and agency to the women at the heart of the film.

Following the screening, the discussion explored the connections between the stories portrayed in the documentary, inequalities in the Italian labor market, and the social and economic transformations brought about by digital technologies.

As Professor Mazali pointed out, “Behind smartphones, computers, and seemingly immaterial technologies, there are raw materials, production processes, and, above all, people.”

This message lies at the heart of SHE, inviting audiences to reconsider the very concept of technological progress by placing workers’ dignity, labor rights, and collective responsibility at the center of the conversation.

For Antropica, it is particularly meaningful to see SHE continuing its journey beyond cinemas and film festivals, becoming a tool for education, dialogue, and critical reflection. Events like this demonstrate how documentary filmmaking can connect research, universities, trade unions, and civil society, contributing to a deeper understanding of the contradictions shaping our contemporary world.

Our sincere thanks go to the Polytechnic University of Turin, Job Film Days, the trade unions involved, and everyone who participated in this valuable opportunity for dialogue and exchange.
