In 18 days, CLiFF BC will take place in Burnaby. The venue is the BCGEU Theatre at the headquarters for the BC Government and Service Employees’ Union located at 4911 Canada Way.

 The entrance is off Iris Crescent, a half block west of Norland. Free parking is available near the entrance (first driveway on left) as well as on Iris Crescent and in the big surface parking lot (third driveway on left).

Two films will be shown from 6:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.

The first is a short film that looks at the 1919 Winnipeg General Strike, 75 years later. The film is called Six Weeks of Solidarity.

The second film is Tanaka-san Will Not do Calisenthics. It was filmed in Japan and tells the story of Tanaka-san who was let go from his job 25 years ago when he refused to conform – and what happens when he protests at his old office every day.

Two fabulous films that you can’t see at your local movie theatre so please join us at CLiFF Burnaby on November 29. You’ll also be participating in this first labour film festival for Canada so you’ll be a part of history.

Thank you for your support of CLiFF – Canadian Labour International Film Festival.
