“Blackberry” Opens 2023 DC Labor FilmFest at AFI Silver

This year’s DC Labor FilmFest opened Monday night with a well-attended screening of the new film Blackberry at the AFI Silver Theatre. Labor Heritage Foundation Board Chair Saul Schniderman welcomed the crowd with a reminder of the origins of May Day, when working people around the world fought for the 8-hour day and whose struggles continue today and are the focus of the DCLFF. Chris Garlock conducted a lively Q&A session with Blackberry director Matt Johnson after the film, who spoke enthusiastically about how his film was centered on work and the workplace.
