Excuse me, I believe you have my stapler…
In search of a way to support workers rights and hang out with the stars of a cult classic? You’re in luck this Friday: Office Space will be showing in the ICC Auditorium at 8 p.m. and stars Stephen Root (Milton Waddams) and Gary Cole (Bill Lumbergh) will be on hand to discuss the film.
The program is part of the D.C. Labor Film Festival, put on by the AFL-CIO Washington D.C. Metro Council, with support from Georgetown’s own Kalmanovitz Initiative for Labor and the Working Poor. This year marks the 10th anniversary of the ode to employee rebellion, and the screening will include a raffle of Office Space memorabilia, including a red stapler. You can RSVP for the event here.
If Office Space isn’t enough to satisfy your labor cinema cravings, the D.C. Film Festival is also showing The Philosopher Kings, a documentary about university janitors, at the ICC Auditorium tonight at 8 p.m.
