A 1989 short film directed by James Hendrie follows Terence, a job‑seeker stuck in a paradox: he cannot find employment because he lacks experience, yet he cannot acquire experience without a job. The clever premise highlights the catch‑22 of the modern labour market, and the film earned the Academy Award for Best Live‑Action Short Film.
