International Working Class FilmFest

DOUBLE FEATURE

THE SCAVENGERS

Hundreds of people who have been pushed out of their Kurdish village in 1994 are still in a battle for survival. Their job is to collect paper for recycling from the garbage in the center of Ankara. In 2001, a group of these workers started to video record their daily lives. They documented the suffering as a result of their forced migration and their struggle against unregulated face of capitalism in the capital city of Turkey. Their work tells the story of these people -- from a 13-year-old child looking after his family in the garbage of Ankara to an old man being dismissed from his village at the age of 60 with their only resources being their labor. Despite forced migration, alienation and degradation, they are proud of what they do.

CENTRAL BAKERY

This film from France by Camy Julien portrays one night in the life of a bakerman, Omar Dridi. He was born in Algeria and arrived in France after the Algerian war there. He talks about his life, his work, his dream, and the new generation.

Before and after the films, everyone's invited to indulge in our Humanist Tea House.
