A large group of men are shown performing various tasks in one room at the Westinghouse Air Brake Co. On one side, men are shown pouring a hot liquid into molds on the floor. A conveyor belt delivers items which are then taken off the belt by a man. Men on the other side of the screen appear to be lifting items out of what could possibly be a furnace and putting them on tables. It appears that the men in this room are casting machinery from molds.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs a visual document, relying on a static frame that captures the rhythm and division of labor in an early 20th-century industrial workshop. It explores the process itself as the main character, where human figures become part of the production mechanism.

What lingers after viewing is a sense of witnessing a raw, unadorned fragment of industrial history. The film's power lies in its stark, unmediated observation. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Billy Bitzer
