Dec 6: Film Fragments of 20th-Century San Francisco
Rick Prelinger is showing rare early video footage of San Francisco on Wednesday!
Film is much more than entertainment—it’s rich and often vivid evidence that backs up imperfect memories and infuses institutional histories with traces of everyday life. Drawing from the Bert Gould collection of silent and early sound films, the Vista collection of exuberant early-1960s city views, diverse home movies and industrial films, this program will include rarely-seen views of San Francisco, contextualizing them in time and space. We hope for audience participation, especially to help identify mystery scenes!
The exhibit is showing at CounterPULSE on Wednesday at 8pm. Let’s go!
Update: here is the upcoming listing.
