As part of our mission of increasing access to independent voices, we'd like to let you know about the CounterCorp Film Festival, an independent program that is fiscally sponsored* by Independent Arts & Media. The details are below. Thank you for your support of Free Expression, Freedom of Information and the Culture of Democracy! Best wishes, Independent Arts & Media --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- The CounterCorp Film Festival: "Putting an End to Business as Usual" Dec. 1-3, Victoria Theater 16th and Mission streets, San Francisco Web site: http://www.countercorp.org/ Schedule: http://countercorp.org/countercorp-schedule.htm Email list: http://list.countercorp.org/mailman/listinfo/countercorp-news ABOUT THE FESTIVAL "The goals of the CounterCorp Festival are to raise public and media awareness, promote critical thinking and analysis, and encourage discussion and debate about how corporations actually operate, and what they really add to -- and subtract from -- humanity's 'bottom line'." FILMS INCLUDE Making Waves The Corporation The Bhopal Express The Forest for the Trees The Future of Food Pirate Radio USA Alternative Freedom Severance (U.S. premiere of corporate-themed horror/splatter flick!) * "Fiscal sponsorship" means we provide them with 501(c)(3) tax status, because we believe their mission is consonant with our own. But CounterCorp remains editorially independent. We have no control over their programming; indeed, we support them precisely because of their commitment to autonomy in thought and expression.
