The Canadian Labour International Film Festival features films made by, for, and about the world of work and those who do it, in Canada and internationally. The films we showcase are about unionized workers, as well as those not represented by unions. We encourage projects regarding any and every aspect of work, as well as issues affecting work or workers. The festival draws trade unionists, community members, youth, activists, students, educators, artists, and allies from across North America and one day, we hope, the world.

We encourage the widest possible variety of films: from documentaries to drama to poetry/poetic treatments to comedy and animation.
