Located in the historic Floral Depot at 19th and Telegraph in downtown Oakland, the intimate screening room provides a vibrant social environment that encourages meaningful discourse and community involvement. This resourceful new venue will testify to both the great diversity of creative expression within the realm of experimental and independent film, video, and performance art and to the exhilarating cultural mix that makes life in Oakland unique. ATW's cutting edge presentations combine the experimental and the familiar, the global and the local, to create an alternative to the ever encroaching cineplexes and the pretensions of corporate galleries.
