Day After Day (French: Jour après jour) is a 1962 Canadian short documentary film, directed by Clément Perron for the National Film Board of Canada.[1][2]

The film documents the routines of working-class life in a small paper mill town in Quebec where most of the 6,500 inhabitants derive their livelihood from one industry. Using experimental sound and film editing techniques, it illustrates how much the town's public life is defined by the repetitive rhythms of the machines in the mill.[3]
