Canadian Labour International Film Festival

CLiFF – The VisionIMAGINE A WORLD where thousands of films are made about workers and the conditions under which they live, work, fight, and succeed in their daily lives!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 is that venue – the first of many throughout Canada, and, we hope, around the world.Not only do we want to show films, we want to encourage MAKING films to show at this and other festivals.
