Discussion on the Future of Work and Free Screening of the Documentary Machines

Responsibility expert Tiina Taipale and investigative journalist Paavo Teittinen discuss a more sustainable future of work: who work serves, who enables our standard of living, and what sustainable work looks like. The discussion is moderated by librarian Heini Strand, and the audience is welcome to participate.

Teittinen's non-fiction book Long Shift - How Modern Slavery Took Root in Finland won the Finlandia Prize in 2025. The book examines human trafficking and various forms of exploitation in Finnish society. Taipale, who works at Finland's Environmental Institute Sykli, has previously researched the relationship between environmental crisis and working life at Aalto University.

Following the discussion, the documentary Machines (2016) directed by Rahul Jain will be screened, depicting working conditions at a textile factory in India. Age limit: 7+ | Language: English | Subtitles: Finnish, Swedish. The screening is at Kino Regina on 13.10.2026 starting at 18:00 (discussion 18:00-19:00, film 19:00-20:15).

The evening is part of Oodi and Kuvi's collaboration on the Voices of Work special screenings, which explore the significance of work through film and literature. All special screenings are free and open to everyone - advance registration is not required.
