D.C. Labor FilmFest Showcases Workers

The SAG-AFTRA Washington-Mid Atlantic Local thanks all of the members who attended the SAG-AFTRA-sponsored screenings of Kinky Boots and Billy Elliot during the 2014 D.C. Labor FilmFest on June 2 and 16.

Organized and presented by the Metropolitan Washington Council of the AFL-CIO, the Debs-Jones-Douglass Institute and the American Film Institute, the 2014 DC Labor FilmFest boasted an array of new films and beloved classics about work and workers, from American offices to the far-flung factories of the global economy.

The Washington-Mid Atlantic Local distributed a total of 145 VIP tickets and raffled off six D.C. LaborFest T-shirts to local members.

“There was excellent turnout from the local at the screening [and an] enthusiastic response from the crowd when we thanked SAG-AFTRA for sponsoring the show,” stated Chris Garlock, director of the DC Labor FilmFest. “Thanks so much for your support again this year!”
