Post Previews Filmfest

"While the working class may be embattled in real life, it's enjoying something of a golden age on the big screen," wrote Ann Hornaday in the Washington Post on Thursday. "I must have screened 150 films," FilmFest Director Chris Garlock told the Post, "and for the first time, it was really difficult to get the list down." Headlined "Where Labor Holds The Upper Hand," the story on the front page of the Style section previews this week's 7th annual DC Labor FilmFest and features an interview with Paul Laverty, who wrote the screenplay for the Opening Night U.S. premiere of the new Ken Loach film "It's A Free World." Laverty told the Post that "What we began to realize is that many of those new modernized flexible workers had lost the rights trade unions had gained many years ago."
