Thanks to all our filmmakers, writers, judges, volunteers, interns, sponsors and nearly two thousand film lovers who attended films about workers and their lives over our ten days of festival.

We are planning right now for special events on Long Island in the Fall and for a bigger and better Workers Unite Film Festival 2015!

Workers Unite Film Festival

The Workers Unite Film Festival is a ten day long celebration in NYC of films from around the world about worker's lives and their struggles for dignity and labor rights. The festival is held the second week in May each year at the historic Cinema Village, just South of Union Square in Manhattan. New locations are added each season.
