From the 1-minute Photo Booth (“It's a lonely job, but someone's got to do it”) to the IBEW’s 3-minute Workplace Democracy Corporate Style (“What really happens when workers try to exercise their rights”), “There’s something for everyone,” promises FilmFest Director Chris Garlock. Attendees at today’s lunchtime screening will also get chances to win free passes to the FilmFest and FilmFest t-shirts.
