Dominican Companies Are Inviting Their Employees to the Movies

With just one click, Dominican companies can buy tickets online and invite their employees to experience the II Dominican Global Film Festival (DRGFF), taking place from November 18-23 in five cities in the Dominican Republic. The Festival will be screening a total of 26 feature-length films and 10 documentaries.

Regardless of the company or organization’s size, the Festival has something for everyone. Small companies with just 2 or 3 employees,
medium-size groups or companies with over a hundred employees will all enjoy the selection of films being presented at the Festival. Special ticket packages with attractive promotional gift offerings can be reserved online at a 10% discount.

DRGFF will screen a selection of the best international feature-length films, bringing the “seventh art” to all
sectors of Dominican society, in turn enriching the country’s film culture. The Festival contributes to raising awareness and comprehension of global issues through personal stories about events and people that have shaped our lives. The Festival will also serve as a forum for discussion and exchange of ideas concerning topics of social, political and economic importance presented in the films.

The issues dealt with in the films will positively impact all
employees that attend the event. Companies that have a mixture of both adults and young people working with them should review the program prior to distributing tickets. Companies can also select films for their workers to see that can be later discussed in meetings in order to solve issues or encourage effectiveness among staff.

The global cinema event of this year in the Dominican Republic will simultaneously be celebrated in five cities – Santo Domingo, Santiago, Puerto Plata, Higüey and Nagua, at 10 different venues, making it an event of unprecedented proportions.  Under its motto, Global Issues, Personal Stories, the Festival – an initiative of Global Foundation for Democracy and Development (GFDD) and Fundación Global Democracia y Desarrollo (FUNGLODE) – will bring to the Dominican Republic, the best of international film, while at the same time offering opportunities for learning, professional development and the creation of professional networks.
