<html><body style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; ">Dear CounterCorp supporters,<br><br><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>This is just a reminder that we is co-presenting the San Francisco theatrical premiere of the critically-acclaimed new documentary "The Yes Men Fix The World" tomorrow (Friday), October 30 at the Roxie Theater on 16th Street (between Valencia and Guerrero) in the Mission.<br><br><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>The film has played to enthusiastic audiences at the Sundance and South by Southwest Film Festivals (among others), and opened to big crowds and strong reviews -- including from the mainstream and business press -- in New York, Washington, and Boston. It opens in Chicago, L.A., and Portland, Ore., in the coming weeks.<br><br><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>It is the second feature from anti-corporate activists Andy Bichlbaum and Mike Bonanno, who pose as executives of large corporations and international financial institutions in elaborate publicity stunts intended to draw attention to the dangers and absurdities of the global economic system.<br><br><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>In the process, the Yes Men reveal the insanity of a corporate-driven economy in which no idea is considered beyond the pale, as long as it's pitched as a way to make ever-higher profits.<br><br><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>The film ends on a hopeful and upbeat note, however, and the Yes Men have warned theater managers only half-jokingly to make sure that the seats are bolted to the floor, because audiences have been leaving the screenings feeling angry, energized, and empowered to take action.</div><div><br></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>And as an added bonus, one half of the deceptive duo -- co-writer/co-director/co-producer Andy Bichlbaum -- will be in attendance on opening night to speak about making the film, their most recent stunt against the U.S. Chamber of Commerce (and the resultant lawsuit), and answer audience questions.</div><div><br></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>To purchase tickets to one of the opening night screenings at 7:00pm and 9:00pm that benefit the 5th Annual Anti-Corporate Film Festival coming up in May, go to <<a href="http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/87665">http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/87665</a>>. We expect both shows to sell out, and recommend getting your tickets in advance to guarantee a seat.</div><div><br></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>For more information -- including a trailer for the film -- visit <a href="http://www.theyesmenfixtheworld.com">www.theyesmenfixtheworld.com</a>, or contact us at <a href="mailto:events@countercorp.org">events@countercorp.org</a>. Don't miss this excellent and compelling film, as well as a chance to help us raise money for the next CounterCorp Film Festival.</div><div><br></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>We look forward to seeing you, your friends, family, and co-workers at the Roxie Theater on Friday night!</div><div><br></div><div>John Wilner</div><div>Director</div><br><br><div>
