LATEST NEWS
It’s early in the year but there’s
already a lot of Labor FilmFest
activity!
DATES
The DC
Labor FilmFest is scheduled for October 13-18;
the AFI in Silver Spring is once again our main
venue – with screenings each night – and a
number of free noontime screenings have been
lined up that week at the AFL-CIO, AFGE
(DOL/Local 12), AFSCME, AFT, IBEW, and the
JCC.
FILMSWe’re previewing some
fascinating films for this year’s FilmFest
and expect to have a preliminary line-up
announcement by mid-July. We’re excited to
report that a terrific exhibit of labor film
posters and stills is now on view at the
AFL-CIO; the FilmFest has screened many of the
featured films and assisted the exhibit curator
in putting the show together (click

report).
