‘El Empleo’/ ‘The Employment’ is a very critical short animation film by the director Santiago 'Bou' Grasso, from Buenos Aires, Argentina.
This film is about an anonymous man who performs his usual trip to work, immersed in a world where the utilization of people as objects is an everyday thing.
‘El Empleo’/ ‘The Employment’ is a film about the use of the man by the man.
The objectualization of the human being in our society is shown allegorically in a very particular way: a world where everyone is used as an object.
With dark humor and a critical look over the issue, we explore the place of the human being in the modern societies, searching for a deep reflection from the audience when facing the film's point of view. Santiago 'Bou' Grasso

Every Christmas, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II addresses the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth with a special Christmas message.
You can watch Her Majesty speaking of families, friends and communities in this year's broadcast to the Commonwealth.
What is the Commonwealth? Do you know what it is?
The Commonwealth is a name for some countries which were part of the British Empire before they became independent. This group of states works together on many important matters, like business, health and the fight against poverty.
The Commonwealth of Nations is a group of countries. Originally, it was called the British Commonwealth of Nations which was founded in 1926 when the British Empire began to break-up. Now, there are 53 member countries of the Commonwealth of Nations. All except Mozambique were part of the British Empire. There are some other associations having similar sounding names. For example, the Commonwealth of Australia or the Commonwealth of Independent states. But, the Commonwealth of Nations is different and a separate organization.
