<div align="center"><b>9/11 Film Festival- Raising Questions, Demanding
Answers<br>
</b></div>
<br>
The 5th Annual 9/11 Film Festival, a benefit for
the Northern California 9/11 Truth Alliance, Architects and Engineers for
9/11 Truth, and the NYC Coalition for Accountability Now (NYCCAN), will
be held Wednesday evening and Thursday from noon onwards, September
9th and 10th, 2009 at the Grand Lake Theater, 3200 Grand Avenue
in Oakland. The festival opens with the world premiere of
“<b>Loose Change 9/11: An American Coup</b>” with filmmaker Dylan Avery.
Bonnie Faulkner, host of KPFA's Guns and Butter will be the Mistress of
Ceremonies. Guest speakers include: Mike Daly, an Ironworkers 377 member,
presenting an excerpt from the film “<b>Metal of Honor</b>,” a firsthand
account of the ironworkers who were first responders; Richard Gage, AIA,
founder of Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth; Dr. David Ray
Griffin, author of 36 books, including 10 on the topic of 9/11;
Janette MacKinlay, artist and survivor, a member of the Executive Council
of NYCCAN, the organization working to get an initiative on the November
ballot for an independent, impartial investigation into the events of
September 11, with subpoena power; and Gabriel Day, peace activist and
board member of 911Truth.org.<br>
<br>
On Thursday beginning at noon, the films
“<b>Fabled Enemies</b>” by Jason Bermas, “<b>Kill the Messenger</b>” by
French filmmakers Mathieu Verboud and Jean R. Viallett, and “<b>The New
American Century</b>” by Italian filmmaker Massimo Mazzucco will be
followed by speakers Ken Jenkins, Dr. Paul Rea, Mickey Huff, and Dr.
Peter Phillips. Comedian Swami Beyondananda is scheduled to both
enlighten and lighten up the audience.<br>
<br>
Thursday evening, Eric Nadler will present the West
Coast premiere of “<b>Anthrax War”</b> which he made with Bob Coen along
with a companion book, <b>Dead Silence</b>. The film begins by
investigating the anthrax attacks that took place in the wake of 9/11,
but it is global in scope, examining the far-flung bio-weapons labs,
their privatization, and the overlap between the bio-weapons and vaccine
manufacturers in a burgeoning $50 billion industry.<br>
<br>
Thursday’s keynote speaker, Dr. David Ray
Griffin, will address the mysterious collapse of World Trade Center 7 and
why the final official report about 9/11 is unscientific and false, the
subject of his latest book. On Wednesday, Griffin will briefly discuss
“<b>Osama Bin Laden: Dead or Alive?</b>” which challenges the
foundational myth surrounding 9/11, an event still underpinning the “war
on terror” and the expansion of forces in Afghanistan.<br>
<br>
“<b>Loose Change 9/11: An American Coup</b>” is
the fourth in a series of films on 9/11 made by Dylan Avery and dubbed an
“Internet blockbuster.” The films and evidence have evolved over
the years. This latest version provides greater historical context,
damning eyewitness testimony to the explosions that took place in World
Trade Center 7 on the morning of September 11, and the latest details
about physicist Dr. Steven E. Jones's discovery of unexploded military
grade thermate in the WTC dust.<br>
<br>
The film “<b>7/7: Ripple Effect</b>,” the
British “Loose Change,” questions the official story about the London
bombings (the film producer was jailed for sending DVDs to the judge,
jury, and victims’ families). “<b>Fabled Enemies</b>” examines the
links between the alleged 9/11 hijackers, the military, and the
intelligence agencies. “<b>Kill the Messenger</b>” tells the story
of Sibel Edmonds, the most silenced witness in US history, who formed the
National Security Whistleblowers Coalition. “<b>The New American
Century</b>” looks critically at the Project for the New American Century
and the history of US militarism.<br>
