Gruzei is following in the path of Peter Tscherkassky and Siegfried A. Fruhauf, and her film relates to the Lumiére brothers’ historic production. Workers Leaving the Factory (Again) has a socio-political context that is rare in experimental cinema, and which automatically imposes an ideological interpretation. The director takes care of the formal side of her film, but much more important is the significance of the anonymous crowd leaving the factory.
