Please join us for a screening of Who Needs Sleep? by Haskell Wexler, hosted by local members of CREW (Caucus of Rank-and-File Entertainment Workers).
Union film workers will lead a post-discussion about current working issues as well as the recent film crew union IATSE contract negotiations.
Haskell Wexler was a well known cinematographer known for One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf, The Conversation among many other notable films. Some of his projects dealt with social and political issues such as his Chicago-set 1969 film Medium Cool and the John Sayles film Matewan. In 2006, Wexler highlighted the issue of sleep deprivation and long work hours that many film workers experience in his documentary Who Needs Sleep?
