Every Pulse of the Heart is Work

Description

Filming largely in India’s ancient holy city of Varanasi, Paweł Wojtasik, who previously co-directed the documentary End of Life, has created a hypnotic study of people at work—a street beggar, a surgeon, a weaver, a priest, a masseur, a tabla drum maker, and a crane operator: people who in their intense concentration and ritualized movements evoke the idea of human labor as an act of spiritual devotion and social interdependence.
