Still Working

2019 · 17 min

A quiet, gentle portrait that lingers on a man and a dying place, leaving a soft ache of solitude and time passing.

Overview: The power plant has been closed down for a while, but one of the turbines is still running. A solitary worker, who’s most likely dedicated all of his life to this big dying monster, is finally forced to face reality. He’s got only one friend − his big black and white canine companion. Almost with no words and with a great irruption of archive material, Julietta Korbel portrays this man and the Chavalon power plant with the gentleness of who’s shooting a real-life documentary subject.
