DESCRIPTION:International Working Class Film and Video Festival (Night 8)  July 29 
 (Thursday) 7:00 p.m. $5  ===========================================  "Fiat 
 Respect!"  A film by Regan Brashear, 2002 (34 minutes)  This film shows the 
 historic action of the Coalition of University Employees' strike in 2002, 
 when thousands of clerical workers for the first time showed their power. 
 It also exposes the role of the Regents of the University of California in 
 their concerted efforts to break unions and prevent workers from winning 
 decent working conditions and benefits.  
 ===========================================  "Commemoration of the Merger"  
 A film by Kazmi Torii, 2004 (32 minutes)  Black AFM Local 669 and white AFM 
 Local 6 merged into one musician's local in 1960. This year, the members 
 held a commemoration. Mixing music with oral history, this film reveals a 
 hidden part of San Francisco's racial and labor history and the struggle 
 for equal union rights. Members of merged Local AFM 6 will be in 
 attendance.  ===========================================  "Fire on Pier 32" 
  A film by Jack Rasmus, 2003 (70 minute excerpt)  This video is a recording 
 of the first full-length theatrical production about the San Francisco 
 General Strike and the founding and evolution of the International 
 Longshore and Warehouse Workers Union, the ILWU. The video features new 
 labor songs written for the play and more than thirty historical photos of 
 the strike.  ===========================================  Other films and 
 videos will also be shown this evening.  LaborFest 2004 is a month of film, 
 music, poetry, theater, talks, tours, and other events celebrating labor, 
 our history and future. Held every July since 1994, LaborFest commemorates 
 San Francisco's 1934 General Strike. For a complete schedule, visit
