[CounterCorp] ONE Week from Today! 2007 CounterCorp Film Festival

[CounterCorp News and Events List]

Dear CounterCorp supporter,

	Yes, it's even closer. The 2007 CounterCorp Anti-Corporate Film  
Festival kicks off exactly ONE week from today, and while we wish we  
had another two months to get ready, we're excited to be just seven  
days away from our 2nd Annual Festival.

	In case you didn't read the e-mail we sent out last week, we want to  
remind everyone that the CounterCorp Festival runs Oct. 18-20 --  
that's next Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, at the Victoria Theatre  
(the same venue as last year), 2961 16th Street (at Mission Street),  
across from the 16th Street/Mission BART station.

	We've posted the complete SCHEDULE -- and TRAILERS -- for the  
feature films at this year's Festival on the CounterCorp website  
<www.countercorp.org/countercorp-festival.htm>, including our newly- 
announced closing night film, the San Francisco premiere of "This  
Land Is Your Land" (see below) as well as a link to purchase a full- 
festival pass online <http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/22093>.

	We will be adding the short films, guest speakers, and links to  
purchase advance tickets to individual films online tonight. In the  
meantime, here's the description for our final feature:

THIS LAND IS YOUR LAND -- A startling, often hilarious exploration of  
the corporate takeover of American life. The filmmakers traveled  
across the U.S. interviewing award-winning authors, historians, media  
pundits, and ordinary citizens about the impact of corporate power on  
nearly every aspect of people’s daily lives, our social fabric, and  
the principles of democracy. The film celebrates small acts of  
resistance by everyday citizens in unique, funny, and inspiring ways.  
Directed by Lori Cheatle and Daisy Wright (82 minutes, 2006).

	For those of you in the Bay Area, you can see our ad in the most  
recent edition of the SF Bay Guardian (p.28). We are also  
anticipating items on the Festival in *next* week's Bay Guardian, SF  
Weekly, and the Chronicle's "96 Hours" weekend event pull-out  
section, as well as the Flavorpill arts and culture website and e- 
mail. And, for those of you who don't like to read, you can see  
Festival director John Wilner interviewed on "SF Live", a local cable  
access TV program on Comcast Channel 76 at 5:30 p.m.

	Please help us spread the word by forwarding information about the  
Festival to your friends, family, colleagues, and associates, as well  
as to any e-mail lists, blogs, or social networking websites that  
you're involved in. We have also posted a PDF version of an 8.5 x 11  
flyer announcing the Festival on the CounterCorp website (in the  
right-most column below the details about the Festival location and  
tickets). We encourage people to download the flyer, make copies, and  
post them in your neighborhood, workplace, and other areas that  
people frequent. Practice information promiscuity!

	And if you can't come to the Festival this year but would still like  
to help support our efforts, you can make a donation online by going to

and selecting CounterCorp from the drop-down menu. We appreciate any  
amount you can give.

	Thanks as always for your support -- we couldn't do any of this  
without you!

The CounterCorp Core Corps
