Check out the EBTV New Jersey Film Festival Interview with Mark Street -- Director of the documentary Work Songs which opens New Jersey Film Festival this coming Saturday, January 25.

Work Songs will be preceded by the beautiful short experimental film Textile Workers by Andrea Nappi and Juno Roome. Here is more information on this screening:

Textile Workers – Andrea Nappi and Juno Roome  (Queens, New York) In this captivating experimental film, a wayward man, led by a scarlet fairy, is transported to a fantastical land. 2019; 8 min. Q+A Session with Directors Andrea Nappi and Juno Roome!

Work Songs – Mark Street (Brooklyn, New York)
  Combining interviews with observational footage, Work Songs is a highly engaging documentary that eloquently explores how workers in a range of industries attempt to find meaning in their jobs.  Director Mark Street dives into the gig economy, automatization, and the decreasing power of unions, and then leavens this bleak picture with finely observed evocations of work places. 2019; 68 min. Q+A Session with Director Mark Street!
