Dir. Nicolas Panay / 2023 / 17 mins / France / French / Drama, Thriller / Australian Premiere

Part social-realist drama, part thriller, this workplace portrait depicts the pressure-cooker stresses of an overworked construction site.

New father Pierre is in charge of a construction site, where an eco-district is set to be established. But as he carries the mental burden of overseeing the safety of his workers, it’s easy for the most important task at hand to slip from his mind. Receiving a Special Jury Mention for Narrative Short at Tribeca, Alarms is a gripping account of the demands of a high-pressure environment.
