During the LaborMedia 97 conference which was held in November 1997,
several hundred labor communication activists gathered and discussed the
urgent issues raised by international labor communication. The
conference and the festival which happened simultaneously caused huge
on-going discussion and activities throughout the world and was
considered as one of the most important event happened in the
international labor movement during the past decade by many labor
activists. (You can still get access to the document materials form

This year, Labor News Production which was one of the organizers of
LaborMedia 97 and LaborMedia 99 (http://lmedia.nodong.net) will hold the
fifth Seoul International Labor Film  Festival with the support from KFC
and KCTU. The festival will be composed of two different sections.

1, Screening
About 30 programs on the international labor movement will be screened
during the festival. The Festival always have the following two major
sections which are the section on the landscape of the international
labor video and films, and the section on the labor video made by Korean
rank and file labor video activists. There is no entry fee for the
producer and no admission fee for the audience.

2, Seminars
The issues and subjects of the seminars will focus on the use of video
as an empowering tool by and for the rank and file workers. This special
program will be a timely opportunity to discuss the possibility of using
the technological progress for the labor video activism and sharing the
tactics and strategies, trials and errors of the labor video activists.
Korean rank and file workers will be strong presence, but at the same
time the global solidarity will be another important issue of this
seminar. Also, this year the third Labormedia conference will be held
just before the festival from 12th until 14th.
