Winners for Workers Unite Film Festival 2022!
/We are proud to announce the winners for #WUFF11.
For our 11th season, we maintained a hybrid festival, with in-person screenings and talkbacks at Cinema Village October 7th-13th followed by a virtual festival on our Eventive streaming page Oct 14th-21st. We added the promotion of a book launch for Kim Kelly’s Fight Like Hell: The Untold History of American Labor — and saw the return of our Activist Filmmaker Bootcamp! This time, it was held at the new SUNY Empire HVASLS headquarters at 4 Park Ave. Then, to finish things out, we hosted a stage reading of a new play at The People's Forum, a perfect venue to partner with for future events.
