Man With the Broom: 'The Philosopher Kings'

20091015_philokings250.jpg THURSDAY: The offerings of the DC Labor Film Festival span the gamut from modern classics ("Office Space") to '30s parables ("The Grapes of Wrath.")

It's not a cult classic — yet, yet — but you shouldn't miss "The Philosopher Kings," a documentary about university janitors that explores the nature of education and knowledge. The director and some of the stars will attend the free screenings.

» SEIU, 1800 Massachusetts Ave. NW; Thu., noon, free. (Dupont Circle)
»Georgetown ICC, 37th and O streets NW; Thu., 8 p.m., free.

  • Are you sure this is playing at Georgetown ICC? The film's website doesn't mention such a showing, and it doesn't seem to be on the ICC's calendar, either. I don't want to schlub all the way out there for nothing.
