Welcome to Gorenje!

Original title Dobrodošli v Gorenje!

The workers in the Gorenje’s production create a specific social reality, with specific laws and
ways of communication (i.e. functioning), which is going through deep changes in last few years, first of all due to outer political-economic interests, market’s demands, transition period
of the country and the changes of moral values. Film is focusing on emic view, which
exposes these factors as a clue for the transformation of relationship between workers. Automatisation and as a consequence closing of the working positions, optimisation of the production, smaller salaries and a new wave of young workers with different values, are the result of the trends mentioned above. Film is taking us through a day of the morning shift where on the one hand we watch the routine of production process accompanied by original sound and the images of imposing “machinery”, while on the other hand we watch the
workers’ commentaries during the breaks, in which they expose their perspective of relationships inside Gorenje factory, let it be among the workers themselves or between the
workers and the menagament.
