- 'On Falling' won the European Discovery Award - Prix FIPRESCI at the European Film Awards 😱❤️ Thank you! We wanted this film to speak to the relentless and dehumanising expansion of neoliberalism, while also reminding us that human nature will continue to resist. Long live European Cinema!

- Reposted by Laura CarreiraThe expendables Laura Carreira’s spellbinding feature debut On Falling, about a woman who takes a job in a warehouse run by an online shopping giant, and Bong Joon Ho’s Mickey 17 share an implicit concern for the precarity of modern working conditions and the loneliness of modern life

- Reposted by Laura CarreiraEntão, acho que nunca me tinha acontecido ficar abalado ao tentar explicar o que um filme me fez sentir imediatamente após o seu término, mas aconteceu com o On Falling. Um retrato muito real da vida de uma emigrante com um trabalho precário. Mais que recomendo irem ao cinema ver.

- Reposted by Laura CarreiraVanavond ‘On Falling’ van Laura Carreira gezien. Een hele mooie film over een Portugese arbeidsmigrant die in een distributiecentrum in Schotland als orderpicker werkt. Over menselijkheid, en het gebrek daaraan op veel plekken in onze maatschappij. Aanrader! www.youtube.com/watch?v=kVmW...

- Reposted by Laura CarreiraOn Falling, um filme que nos mostra a realidade atual. Sem qualquer expectativas de futuro para toda uma geração. Sem futuro, sem sonhos, sem possibilidade de realização como ser humano, não é possível uma vida digna. A ver, a meditar e a reagir antes que seja tarde. www.youtube.com/watch?v=hMlB...

- Reposted by Laura CarreiraEnjoyed Barbican screening of Laura Carreira’s first feature ‘On Falling’ about late stage capitalism and how the drive to automate eats social life, followed by visit to Noah Davis exhibition. We cried at both - the death of human creativity and play makes for a dark horizon.
