June 25th- UnAmerican Film Festival

[Guest guest]

Altar Magazine presents...

 

The UnAmerican Film Festival

with Vision Of The Eternal Peacock

& The Good Players

Wednesday, June 25th at 9pm

The Earl (Atlanta, GA)

$5

 

Taking its name from the House Un-American Activities Committee

(HUAC), which terrorized the film industry in the 1950s with a witch

hunt that blacklisted 'subversive' writers and filmmakers, the

UnAmerican Film Festival supports films and videos that question the

government and social norms, even at a time when such acts are

deemed " unpatriotic. " Our mission is to present fun, smart, engaging

and radical films that offer alternatives to the usual corporate

media sources. Since our successful premiere at Cannes, we have taken

the festival to Paris, London, Tokyo, Berlin, Moscow, and now Atlanta!

 

Films Include:

S-11Redux, Life or Liberty, A Message to Bin Laden, Flag TV, Gods,

Penises and Pills, Hot and Bothered, Race Juice: An Elixir for the

Soul, Election Collectibles, Eye of the Storm, and Umatilla

See www.unamericanfilmfest.com for full descriptions.

 

All proceeds go to Altar Magazine, a forum for critical thought,

coalition building, artistic creativity, and activism, in order to

print the second issue, which will feature articles such as Myopia by

Inga Muscio, Arting Up the Revolution, Concrete Blonde Interview,

Celie's Revenge: Hip-hop Betrays Black Women, No Justice No Peace: a

critique within the peace movement, Scott Heron Interview (Prefuse

73, Savath + Savalas), and much more from writers and artists living

all over the world.

MISSION STATEMENT

Altar Magazine believes that problems are not monolithic, and neither

are solutions. It is imperative to have socially progressive women

and men fighting on all fronts of the movement whether that is anti-

racist work, feminism, anti-heterosexism, economic justice or any

other political action. Altar Magazine exists within a community that

is fragmented, but not broken. It exists in a time when coalition is

crucial and must be implemented.

We believe that the personal is political; therefore, all forms of

creativity are inherently political.

We want to create a space where critical thought and understanding

happen simultaneously. This is important because before we can create

social change we must be able to re-imagine communities that foster

difference. We must be able to take ownership of that which we do not

claim in order to effectively critique this oppressive system that we

know and perpetuate.

Social change is not momentous. It is a process. Our hope is that

each individual recognizes his or her place within this system of

change.
