This four minute animation film was comissioned by the EU initiative EQUAL in 2004. The film was produced by Joachim Techt, Patrick Sturm and Philipp Seifried, with additional illustration work by Gernot Weinhandl. More than 80 distinct illustrations provide for a light-hearted high-speed associative monologue about the integration of immigrants, handicapped people, women and long-term unemployed at the work-place.
The film was produced to serve as an introduction at a conference. Later on it gained popularity as a QuickTime movie, viewed online by tens of thousands of visitors. In 2005, "Neben der Arbeit" won the short film contest "Shorts on Screen", held by Austrian national television ORF, in the category "overall winner" and was displayed in several independent cinemas and film festivals.
