2009 Geneva Labour Film Shorts film festival

More and more, unions around the world are using film and video to explain issues and further their work. The third annual Geneva Labour Film Shorts film festival features films by, for, and about unions and working people. Spanning the globe, fourteen films will be presented addressing key issues facing unions such as organising, corporate greed, precarious work, and equality for all workers.

Following the shorts, a feature presentation of Black Badge by Korean filmmaker Jungmin Choi will be shown which documents the brutal treatment irregular workers face in Korea and the extreme measures the workers have taken to win equality.

This year's jury is made up of members of the Global Union Communicator's Task Force. The jury awarded the International Transport Workers' Federation's Abandoned, not forgotten as BEST Labour Film Short of 2009.
