A wordless film set against a hypnotic soundtrack by Avia x Orly, Don't Work (1968 - 2018) follows a year in the life of two art students studying in Paris, Elsa Michaud and Gabriel Gauthier. Grappling with love and searching for ways to make performance art matter politically in the face of an incessant cyclone of opinions and images, the two are representative of a generation overwhelmed by the constant onslaught of senseless images in daily life. Set against a frantic montage of news clips, advertising campaigns, internet snippets and jarring images, César Vayssié's experimental film reflects on the changes that have taken place since May 1968 as well as the transformative act of becoming an artist.
