A toxic boss, a collective solution
Judy, Violet and Doralee have just one fantasy: to get rid of their boss, a dreadful misogynist who rules the company with an iron fist. The situation spirals out of control when this dream threatens to become reality. A delightfully madcap satire on workplace sexism, which owes everything to the legendary trio of Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin and the late Dolly Parton.

Funny Business
The VIFFF is dedicating its 2026 thematic focus to workplace comedies. From the Industrial Revolution to artificial intelligence, via the rise of office-based employment, the world of work has been constantly changing — with its dreams of progress as well as its disillusionments.
Combining satire of capitalism with a critique of power dynamics, this selection humorously explores the absurdities of our everyday working lives.
