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.

With: Dolly Parton, Lily Tomlin & Jane Fonda
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.
