SUPPORT THE
10TH ANNUAL DC LABOR
FILMFEST
Help celebrate the
10th annual DC Labor FilmFest by reserving
space now in the popular FilmFest Program Guide
now. Since 2001 the DC Labor FilmFest has
screened nearly 150 films about work and
workers - documentaries, dramas and even
comedies - bringing directors, stars, workers
and activists together in the annual
celebration of the struggle for economic and
social justice. This year's festival is
scheduled for October 12-18, with nightly
screenings at the AFI and free screenings at
other venues around DC. Click

LABOR FILM POSTER EXHIBIT NOW AT
NATIONAL
LABOR
COLLEGE
The terrific
"Working Class Heroes" exhibit of labor film
posters and stills originally at the AFL-CIO
has been acquired by the DC Labor FilmFest -
thanks to a generous contribution by Jules
Bernstein - and is now on view at the National
Labor College's Lane Kirkland Center. The Labor
FilmFest has screened many of the featured
films and assisted the exhibit curator in
putting the show together (click
here for a report).
