The 2009 Anti-Corporate Film Festival

May 28-30 at the Victoria Theatre
2961 16th Street, San Francisco


The 4th Annual Anti-Corporate Film Festival kicks off
on Thursday, May 28 at 7:00pm with the West Coast
premiere of the new documentary 'Sweet Crude ', an
examination of Big Oil's operations in the Niger River
Delta of Nigeria, and the sometimes violent response
to their health, environmental, and economic effects.

Post-screening update and Q & A with director Sandy
Cioffi and a Nigerian activist just back from the region.

The CounterCorp Festival is a three-day series of film
screenings, post-film Q & A's and panel discussions,
and related events held every year in San Francisco.
It includes U.S. and foreign, feature-length and short,
documentary, narrative (fictional) and animated films.

By "anti-corporate" we don't just mean "independent"
(i.e., non-corporate) films, but those that examine and
reflect the role that corporations play in our daily lives,
and the effect they have on people, communities, and
cultures around the world  —  and on the planet itself.

The goals of the Festival are to raise public and media
awareness, promote critical thought and analysis, and
encourage informed discussion and debate about how
corporations actually operate, and what they really add
to — and subtract from — humanity's "bottom line" ...
