On the first anniversary of Occupy Wall Street, "Occupy the Film Festival" is bringing together the most compelling and innovative films of the movement for a weekend of screenings at Anthology Film Archives, the premiere independent cinema in downtown New York City. Festivities will include prominent guest speakers, an Occupy photography exhibit by award-winning photographers, an Occupy fashion show, and guerrilla projections by the famous Illuminator.
The festival is organized by a coalition of radical mediamakers and activists, with the support of many well-known alternative media groups around the city and country.
We are now inviting submissions via our website and would be very honored to receive yours by June 30, 2012:

In solidarity,
