Workers' Film Festival is a non-competitive, ticketless and free film festival. In addition, various exhibitions are held at the festival.[3] Worker Film Festival uses Karagöz and Charlie Chaplin figures, which it has introduced as the "festival mascot" since 2006, in all its posters and visuals. These festival mascots have also inspired banners in some actions.[4]
