description The International Labour Film Institute (ILFI) originated from the international labour movement. It was devoted to workers’ education through film. Archived documents reconstitute the conditions of its creation and its activities. The ILFI, which depended financially on the International Confederation of Free Trade Unions (ICFTU), never succeeded in emancipating itself from the confederation. The ILFI functioned for 20 years establishing a film library, producing a variety of visual media (only one film), encouraging trade unions in different continents to use films in union education, and organising 5 international festivals. Little by little, audio-visual means overshadowed the supremacy of film. The article explores key moments of the institute’s history and the films it promoted.
