Nightcleaners, Berwick Street Collective, 1975, UK, 90', Spanish subtitles. DCP
"There are women here who have spent almost 20 years working. But they don’t see us. They never see us". That’s what one of the cleaners in Nightcleaners says to the camera. This film, an indispensable reference in feminist collective films follows the efforts to organize a group of cleaners at a London office into a trade union. Through different cinematic strategies, members of the Berwick Street Collective question the tensions between workers, employers and unions. But above all they force our attention: to show the exploitation and precariousness of female labour.
