CounterCorp is an anti-corporate non-profit organization founded in 2005. Among other things, it organizes the annual ANTI-CORPORATE FILM FESTIVAL, an annual three-day series of movies, discussions, and related events held in San Francisco. This year's festival runs Oct. 18-20.
The goal of the festival is to generate public and media attention, stimulate critical thought and analysis, and encourage informed discussion and debate about how corporations actually operate, the effects they have on the lives and cultures of people around the world (and on the planet itself), and what they really contribute to society's "bottom line."
The festival is open to U.S. and foreign-made, feature-length and short, documentary and narrative films, including animation. The organizers also accept suggestions for potential films and speakers.
The film submissions deadline is generally three months before the Festival begins, and the final program is announced about a month before the Festival
The festival does not accept corporate funding, relying instead on donations and other forms of support from members of the public and local small businesses, an all-volunteer staff, and proceeds from ticket sales and non-festival events.
