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.
