_ Gambit _ 
 In an echo of national workers rights movements such as Fight for $15
and OUR Walmart, New Orleans hospitality workers are coming together
in an attempt to rearrange the building blocks of their industry. Both
on their own and with the support of a union, workers are becoming
their own advocates, in an effort to — as Marlene Patrick-Cooper,
the local organizing director for the UNITE HERE union, often says —
"turn poverty jobs into middle-class jobs."

 SANTA BARBARA FILM FESTIVAL TO OPEN WITH EMILIO ESTEVEZ’S ‘THE

 BRUCE HARING

_ Deadline Hollywood _ 
 The Public follows a group of homeless library patrons, who, after
learning that emergency shelters are at capacity during a brutal
Midwestern cold front, refuse to leave Cincinnati’s downtown public
library at closing. What begins as a nonviolent Occupy sit-in and
ragtag act of civil disobedience quickly escalates into a stand-off
with local riot police, a no-nonsense crisis negotiator, and a savvy
DA with lofty political ambitions.
