DESCRIPTION:     The 6th Annual CounterCorp Anti-Corporate Film Festival opens 
 Thursday, May 19, and runs through Saturday, May 21, at the Victoria 
 Theatre, 2961 16th Street in San Francisco.\n\n     The CounterCorp 
 Festival is a three-day series of film screenings, post-screening 
 discussions with directors and activists, and related events. The films are 
 primarily feature-length U.S. and foreign-made documentaries, but also 
 include narrative (fictional) films, short films, and animated and 
 experimental works. All of the films include some theme, reference to, or 
 commentary on corporations.\n\n     The goal of the Festival is to raise 
 public and media awareness about how corporations actually operate, promote 
 critical thought and analysis of the effect of those operations on the rest 
 of society, and encourage informed discussion and debate about what 
 corporations really add to -- and subtract from -- humanity's "bottom 
 line".\n\n     The program for this year's Festival includes "Barbershop 
 Punk", about one man's discovery that the nation's largest cable company 
 has been secretly filtering its customers' date, "The Bottom Line", about 
 the campaign to end apartheid in South Africa by divesting from 
 international corporations doing business there, "White Water, Black Gold", 
 about the environmental destruction caused by extracting oil from the tar 
 sands of western Canada, "Blood in the Mobile", about the limits of 
 'corporate social responsibility' and the exploitation of minerals and 
 people by the electronics industry, and "The Naked Option", about Nigerian 
 women who threaten to remove their clothes to protest the effects of oil 
 drilling on their health and community.\n\n     More films to be announced. 
 Q & A's with directors and activists follow most of the films, which screen 
 each night at 7:00pm and 9:00pm. Tickets are $10. A full-festival pass is 
 $50. For more information -- including film summaries and trailers -- and
