Call for Labor Videos & Films
International Working Class Film & Video Festival


The International Working Class Film and Video Festival is launching an national & international call for labor documentaries, dramatic works or animations.

The videos should illuminate the issues facing working people and the unemployed. They could include the effects on working people of the war in Iraq, repression and democratic rights for working people, the crisis facing retired workers and the growing Wal-Martization of the economy.
This year we will also have special programs on the 40th anniversary of the '68 Movement in the US and around the world and the 75th Anniversary of the WPA. Any works from that period or the relevance of that period for today are welcome.

If submitted from outside the US, we prefer work that either contain captions or an English voice over, however, we will accept all submissions. if work is submitted in languages other than English, a printed narration is requested.

It will be accepted in PAL or NTSC.

Producers of the videos screened will also invited to present their videos at the festival screenings.
