IL CINEMA PER I DIRITTI DI CHI LAVORA

As the sixth edition of Job Film Days – from September 30th to October 5th 2025 – approaches, Turin is getting ready to welcome the Festival with a guiding image that holds the entire meaning of the event in a powerful single poster. Created and designed by Roberto Grossi, Verso Torino/Towards Turin showcases a group of workers taking on the double identity of both authors and actors of the cinematic event as they slowly head towards Turin. Architect, illustrator, as well as a successful graphic novelist: Grossi’s works have been published in several magazines and newspapers. He published the graphic novels Il grande prato and Cassadritta for Coconino Press-Fandango, the comic book HIC for the “Fumetti nei Musei” (“Comics in Museums”) collection, and the comics anthology Nessun Rimorso-Genova 2001/2021 edited by Supporto Legale. Also edited by Coconino Press-Fandango, his latest book La grande rimozione deals with the topic of anthropogenic climate change and its deep implications on everyday life. The poster designed for Job Film Days depicts a group of workers-actors heading decisively towards the Festival, while also inviting viewers to join them in this journey. The final result is a poster that celebrates unity of purpose, the importance of […]
