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.

FILMS
We’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 here for a report).

FILMFEST PROGRAM GUIDE
Space is still available in our popular Festival Guide, with discounts available for both previous and new sponsors: email cgarlock@dclabor.org for details or click here to download the FilmFest ratesheet. 

We’re very pleased and proud to welcome back Labor FilmFest Premiere Sponsors American Income Life, the AFL-CIO, Working America and SEIU, all longtime and strong supporters of one of the only film festivals in the world dedicated to screening films featuring workers and workers’ issues. Other returning major sponsors include Grant & Eisenhofer, Fenton Communications, the California Nurses Association and Blue Cross/Blue Shield’s National Labor Office (see below for the latest 2009 FilmFest Sponsors Honor Roll).
