Labor FilmFest: Compelling Stories Offered, Hosts Wanted
Tuesday, September 24, 2013(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)
“More
and more, it seems the studio
movies that make their way to multiplex theaters are about fantasy and special
effects,” writes Rachel Gorlin. “But some of us go to the movies for
compelling
stories about the way real people live, play -- and work. Those films are what
the DC Labor FilmFest is all about, and that's why I look forward to it every
fall.” This year's DC Labor FilmFest – coming up October 11-17 -- is
celebrating 13 years of bringing films about work and workers to the silver
screen; click
here to tell us what you love about the FilmFest and you could win a pair
of free tickets! Also, we’re looking for a few Takoma Park/Silver Spring
folks
to host visiting labor filmfest organizers, some of whom are traveling from as
far away as Israel and South Africa for the 3rd annual International Labor Film
Festival Organizer’s Conference on October 12. Hosts get passes to any DCLFF
films you want! Email cgarlock@dclaborarchives.org
if interested.
