Abstract
The presentation retraces the process that led up to Symphony of the Ursus Factory (2018), an experimental documentary dedicated to the historical tractor factory. The film’s creators invited the plant’s ex-employees – workers, technologists, managers, secretaries – to take part in a project to once more bring the factory back to life. With sounds and body memory, they re-enact one day of work in a plant that no longer exists.The resulting symphony consists of the choreographed movements of the workers as well as of the technical, administrative and managerial staff, accompanied by the recreated phonosphere of the heavy industry. The film is the last episode in the seven-year-long engagement of the film’s director, Jaśmina Wójcik, in both the space and the social fabric of Ursus.
