the world to conduct workshops inspired by cinema history’s first film, Workers Leaving the Lumière Factory, shot in 1895 by the Lumière brothers in France. While the workshop videos are in colour and the camera was not required to remain static, Ehmann and Farocki’s students were tasked with honouring the original Lumière film’s basic parameters of theme and style. The fascinating result is a collection of more than 550 short videos that have appeared in international exhibitions and on an open-access website, offering the widest possible audience the opportunity to ponder contemporary labour in multiple contexts around the world."

Die Befunde der Studie sollen dazu beitragen, dass entwicklungspolitische Akteure evidenzbasierte Informationen in Bezug auf Ziele, Maßnahmen und Wirkungen der Entwicklungspolitik und Entwicklungszusammenarbeit erhalten, aber auch ihre Herausforderungen effektiver und bedarfsgerechter an die Bevölkerung vermitteln können. Bisherige Studien widmeten sich jeweils lediglich Teilaspekten dieses – inhaltlich stark verbundenen – Themenkomplexes. Der Meinungsmonitor Entwicklungspolitik 2019 – Medien, Mediennutzung und Berichterstattung zu weltweiter Armut ist die erste Studie, die Mediennutzung, Medienwahrnehmung und Wahrnehmung entwicklungspolitisch relevanter Inhalte innerhalb einer Studie im Zusammenhang analysiert."
