Director's Pick

There's plenty to choose from at this year's DC Labor FilmFest, but here are a few top picks from FilmFest Director Chris Garlock: "It's A Free World…" (10/12 7P) is Ken Loach's latest and a U.S. premiere; "Outsourced" (10/13 7P) is a funny and surprisingly touching take on an issue facing millions of Americans; "Office Space" (10/12 9:30 & 10/13 10P) is the classic comedy from Mike Judge, plus who can resist the red Swingline stapler raffle? "Our Daily Bread" (10/13 5:20P) is a stunningly beautiful meditation on industrialized farming's impact on the human landscape; "Hula Girls" (10/13 7:30P & 10/14 2:30P) is a heartfelt tale of Japanese girls trying to save their dying mining town; "Work Hard Play Hard" (10/14 7P) is a wonderfully black comedy-drama from France about the insidious corporate sellout. All the Labor FilmFest films are guaranteed to entertain and provoke and we especially urge you take advantage of the rare opportunity to see films by Ken Loach on the big screen.
