Martta Tuomaala‘s Am I Calling You at a Bad Time? has been selected for the 21st International Labor Film Festival taking place from May 2-10, 2026 in Istanbul, Ankara, and Izmir, Turkey.

X is growing up in the 1990s. As a child she makes prank calls and gets her first job in telemarketing as a teenager. Office smells, heavy breathers, and meaningless greetings follow her from one workplace to another. Through archival material and amateur video footage, the narrative reflects X’s actions as a faceless subject playing with her voice as a commercialised asset.

The film is produced by Kenno Filmi.
