We thought you and others in your department would be interested in the subject matter. "Company Town"<http://email.linkingarts.com/t/r-l-yujuuidd-kljrkrdhir-w/> is a critique of Airbnb and its role in advancing gentrification of ethnic, working and middle class neighborhoods. It focuses on a grassroots political campaign in San Francisco to wrest power over the city’s future from venture capitalists who have come to dominate and finance city politics. We focus specifically on gentrification in San Francisco’s Chinatown and the Latino Mission district. The film screens one time only: WEDS. MAY 24 at 7pm at the IFC CENTER THEATER<http://email.linkingarts.com/t/r-l-yujuuidd-kljrkrdhir-yd/>, 323 6TH AVE, NYC.

Critics Agree: "It may just be the finest political film of the year." -- East Bay Express "Political junkies will swoon over Company Town." -- San Francisco Chronicle "Riveting…the best kind of story-telling." -- Steven Hill, Huffington Post, author of “Raw Deal: How the ‘Uber Economy” and Runaway Capitalism Are Screwing American Workers” "I loved the film. Company Town can fuel discussion of urban revitalization policies in cities across the country looking to high tech and the sharing economy. Is it inevitable that the future is a luxury city that caters to the new knowledge workers and tourists?” -Dr. Elaine Simon, Director of Urban Studies Program, University of Pennsylvania "Riveting…the best kind of story-telling."-- Huffington Post Snitow-Kaufman Productions Email: secrets@igc.org<mailto:secrets@igc.org> Web: snitow-kaufman.org<http://email.linkingarts.com/t/r-l-yujuuidd-kljrkrdhir-jy/> Facebook: Snitow-Kaufman Productions<http://email.linkingarts.com/t/r-l-yujuuidd-kljrkrdhir-jj/> Twitter: @snitowkaufman<http://email.linkingarts.com/t/r-l-yujuuidd-kljrkrdhir-jt/> Edit your subscription<http://snitow-kaufman.updatemyprofile.com/r-yujuuidd-102B21A0-kljrkrdhir-o> | Unsubscribe<http://email.linkingarts.com/t/r-u-yujuuidd-kljrkrdhir-b/> 2600 10th St. #603 Berkeley CA 94710 USA
