Orbitalna— un film de Marcin Malaszczak /

Entouré par une nuit sans fin, des machines creusent sans effort dans un espace indéfini. La journée, un tapis roulant semble fonctionner indépendamment, mais voilà qu'apparaît une femme aux commandes. Elle fait des rondes, se débarrasse des mottes tombées sur le chemin de la machine. Sa tâche sisyphienne est surveillée de temps à autres. Quand elle voit le superviseur arriver, elle en informe les autres et retourne à ses occupations. Dans ce monde, le travail devient une fin en soi.

Surrounded by a seemingly endless night, machines are formed from constellations of lights that effortlessly dig in an undefined space. During the day, a conveyor belt comes into motion, as if by itself. Its ear-splitting working and shaking is observed and controlled by a woman. She circles around the conveyor belt, ridding the foundation of clumps of dirt that have fallen off. Her Sisyphean task is supervised from time to time. When she sees the supervisors coming, she informs the others and goes to inspect the conveyor belt. At this moment, the circlings and observations of the machine, the work becomes an end in itself. The human being as the maintainer of the machine. Astonishment takes the place of understanding.
