[CounterCorp] Mark your calendars! "Tipping Man 4" is May 28-30

[CounterCorp News and Events List]

Dear CounterCorp supporters,

	We're thrilled to announce the official dates for this year's Anti- 
Corporate Film Festival. As many of you know, we've moved the Festival  
from Fall to Spring, or more precisely, from October to May.

	The 2009 CounterCorp Festival will open on Thursday, May 28 and run  
through Saturday, May 30. We're also returning to our original  
location at the Victoria Theatre on 16th Street in San Francisco’s  
Mission District, where we held the first two Festival in 2006 and 2007.

	(Last year's Festival was at the beautiful Brava Theater on 24th  
Street.)

	The Anti-Corporate Film Festival -- sometimes also referred to as  
"Tipping Man" because of the CounterCorp logo depicting a crowd  
pulling down a statue of a corporate executive — is in its fourth  
consecutive year.
	As the Bay Area film scene has grown over the years, it just seemed  
like there were too many festivals on the Fall calendar. So we decided  
to shift the Festival to the Spring to make it easier for people to  
attend, and to get more attention for the issues the films cover.

	Although we're hoping to screen at least one film that addresses the  
financial crisis and the broader economic system that underlies it,  
those kinds of films are admittedly pretty rare. We’ll probably see  
more of them coming out in the next year or so.

	Among the recurring themes in past Anti-Corporate Film Festivals have  
been industrial agriculture, intellectual property and artistic  
creativity, privatization, and corporate culture, crime, and abuse,  
and there'll be no shortage of those this year.

	The final program for this year’s Festival will be announced in early  
May. For more information, visit the CounterCorp website at www.countercorp.org 
, or e-mail us at filmfest at countercorp.org.

	CounterCorp is an all-volunteer organization that does not accept  
corporate funding or sponsorships, relying instead on donations from  
individuals and local small businesses, and ticket sales to fund the  
Festival and other year-round events. Please donate any amount you can!

	Stay tuned for more details about this year's Festival, and thanks as  
always for your support -- we couldn't do any of this without you!
