Canadian Labour International Film Festival

There really aren’t too many dedicated Canadian film blogs out there that talk about upcoming festivals, and possible ways of being discovered. That’s why we have decided to bring you semi frequent updates on Canadian festivals!

This week we caught wind of CLiFF (Canadian Labour international Film Festival) and how they have extended their entry deadline to the 31st of August. If you have any riveting projects based on the working world, you better get signed up. Here is a little bit about the CLiFF:

The world of labour has found it increasingly difficult to communicate its message as fewer and fewer people have greater control over the means of communication – the media. It is more important than ever that working people be able to tell their own stories in their own words and in their own images.

With the wide availability of digital still and video cameras, camera-phones, and other tools, activists can now make their stories – but still find it difficult to exhibit their narratives. CLiFF will be that venue, the first of many throughout Canada, we hope, and around the world.
