OFX x COLF: On the Waterfront (1954)
For this month’s movie night with the Central Oklahoma Labor Federation, OFX and COLF bring you On the Waterfront (1954), one of the greatest films ever made about labor unions, social classes, and corruption. We’ll talk about the context in which this film was made, a turbulent historical period where McCarthyism loomed over the country as well as Hollywood. Director Elia Kazan was directly embroiled in the conflict between an anti-communist government and Hollywood creatives, informing the creation of this film.

Film Trivia
Join OFX for our first Trivia Night, hosted by your favorite analog media enthusiast and agent of chaos Sean Peel. We don’t know what questions Sean has in store for you, but should you answer all his riddles, you just might win some prizes.
Deadly Games (Dial Code Santa Claus) (1989)

Bad blood aside, Deadly Games is OFX’s answer to the timeless unconventional Christmas film argument.
