On September 26, Labor Film Festa 2009 was held at Zensuido Kaikan Hall in Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo, in its third year. In the face of the storm of new liberalism in today's world, eight films were screened, condemning the harsh working environment through on-the-ground reporting. Viewers of the day totaled to 220, making a record for the Festa. Although the program was so tough that there was no break between films, visitors appreciated it, unanimously saying, "Time has gone by before I know it." After the Festa was over, some of the participants joined the staff members as they had a celebration in a small park near the venue with rice balls, oolong tea and beer from a shop. Blown in the wind across the Kanda River below, they enjoyed singing, exchanging senryu (17-syllable satirical or humorous poems) and discussing the films screened. The outdoor interaction party lasted until deep into the night in gaiety with encounters with new people.（Y at Reporting Section)
大成功だったレイバー映画祭2009～過去最高の220人が集う
今年で三回目になる「レイバー映画祭」が9月26日、東京・文京区の全水道会館ホールで開かれた。新自由主義の猛威が吹き荒れる世界で、労働環境の過酷な実態を告発する作品8本が上映された。この日の入場者は、過去最高の220人。休憩をほとんど取らずに、びっしりと組まれたプログラムだったが、参加者からは、「あっという間に時間が過ぎた」という賞賛の声が相次いだ。閉会後、運営スタッフをはじめとする有志は、おにぎりとウーロン茶とビールを買い出し、会場脇の小公園で乾杯した。眼下の神田川を渡る風に吹かれながら、歌あり、川柳あり、作品をめぐる議論あり。そして新しい出会いありの野外交流会は、にぎやかに深夜まで続いていた。（報道部・Ｙ）
