Versus: The Life and Films of Ken Loach (2016)

(Louise Osmond, UK 2016, 93 min., DCP)

Labor Film Series | Rochester Premiere. With thirty credits to his name—all of them dealing with the oppression of workers by their bosses, their government, or even their unions—Ken Loach has become “Filmmaker to the Working Class.” His films have been a staple of the Rochester Labor Film Series (we’ve screened eight of them!). Our tribute begins with Versus, a recent documentary that traces Loach’s career from his early years at the BBC to his prizewinning features, following the evolution of his concerns and methods.

Labor Film Series 2019

For thirty years, the George Eastman Museum and the Rochester Labor Council have collaborated to present the Rochester Labor Film Series. Over the decades, this series has brought many labor issues to the fore through both classic cinema and new releases from around the world. In keeping with this tradition, the Dryden Theatre presents the film that inspired the series (The Killing Floor, Bill Duke, 1985) in tandem with classic and timely European releases that focus on unions, race, rural labor, and the inevitable bottom line and how it affects workers and labor relations the world over.
