First Call for the 2006 International Labor Film & Video Festival

ISTANBUL/ANKARA—We are laborers, labor union activists, unionists, academicians and mass organizations in Turkey. We are organizing The First International Labor Film And Video Festival in Istanbul and Ankara, in Turkey between 29th of April 7th of May 2006, during the May Day celebration.

We invite your endorsement and participation.

This non-competitive festival is devoted to the screening of video and film on the lives and struggle of working class people all around the world, for the exchange and collectivizing of the experiences of the filmmakers, as documentary or fiction works of groups and individuals, committed to labor struggle; to spread the works that show the struggle of workers, unemployed, students, farmers and women as well as screening films that show the popular uprisings across the world.

We believe this will help arouse interest in labor films and promote their production in Turkey and around the world.

If you have any queries about the festival, please do not hesitate to contact us. We look forward to hearing from you.
