About Us

Job Film Days (JFD) is an international film festival dedicated to the topics of labor and workers’ rights. Directed by Annalisa Lantermo, it is organized by the Job Film Days ETS Association, whose primary objective is to promote cultural initiatives that – through cinema – address the theme of work, starting with respect for rights, legality, equal opportunities, and health and safety in the workplace.

The Festival aims to prompt current national and international filmmaking about the world of work, also involving directors and professionals who have contributed to movie production, enriching the debate on the topic of labor, to draw attention to work in the film industry, favoring the connection between the world of work and film through the expressive power of cinema and engage young people in the enjoyment of audiovisual products and movie theaters, using cinema as an educational tool as well.

The  sixth edition  of Job Film Days, September 30th – October 5th 2025 , presents the public with six days of screenings divided into competitive and noncompetitive sections, special events, masterclasses with directors who have particularly explored the theme of labor in their works, debates and encounters.

The competitive section includes three international contests: JFD – INAIL Piemonte “Lavoro 2025” International Film Award, reserved for documentaries and feature-length fiction movies about labor topics produced in Italy or abroad, JFD – Turin Chamber of Commerce “Job for the Future”, dedicated to short films produced in the European Union and made by directors under 40, and as a new contest this year, the “Decent Work For All – 2025″ Award organized by the Festival alongside the International Training Center of the International Labour Organization (ILO), reserved for short films about decent work made by directors under 40 from low and middle-income countries, according to the OCSE/DAC 2024-2025 classification.

In synergy with the Festival, to explore new languages and partnerships that explore the complex and diverse world of work, the Job Film Days Association is also organizing two photography exhibitions and other off-site events in the week previous to the festival, some special events in Piedmont and the writing workshop “From idea to scriptment” , aimed at under 35 videomakers and creatives.

The event is organized thanks to the valuable collaboration of the  National Cinema Museum . It also benefits from the collaboration of a dense network of local, national and international institutions and associations .
