Sheffield\u2019s first festival celebrating the history of working class film is set to take place from 8-10 May at the Showroom Cinema. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Working Class Film Festival will screen over 35 films of varying lengths and genres, with some entries coming from countries such as Palestine, Ukraine and France. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Festival director Elle Short said: \u201cEight percent of the workforce within the film and television industry come from a working class background, as opposed to nearly 41% of other workforces defined as working class, so there\u2019s clearly an access issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt\u2019s about trying to send up a signal flare to highlight this issue and to sort of bring on board major stakeholders to try and improve access.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n
