Healthy Workspaces Film Award for Wishful Filming
02 Nov 2025
Wishful Filming, directed by Sarah Vanagt, has won this year’s Healthy Workplaces Film Award for the best work-related documentary. A second film, Vibeke Løkkeberg's The Long Road to the Director’s Chair received an honourable mention.
Handing out the top prize, the jury said that Wishful Filming invites reflection on what it means to work and be a worker, and it shows the power of having a brilliant idea in cinema. The Long Road to the Director’s Chair, meanwhile, focuses on the journey of women who fought to secure their place in the workplace, particularly in cinematography and media.
Presented by EU-OSHA at the Doclisboa festival, the award honours films that shed light on the changing world of work and the people at its heart.
