Lost Landscapes of San Francisco – a tradition for the last nine years – brings together familiar and unseen archival film clips showing San Francisco as it was and is no more.
Combining favorites from past years with this year’s footage discoveries, the 10th annual feature-length program shows San Francisco’s neighborhoods, infrastructure, celebrations, and people from 1906 through the 1970s. New sequences this year include 1930s scenes in downtown taverns, New Deal labor graphics, an exuberant 1940 Labor Day parade, radical longshore workers, newly discovered World War II-era tourist-shot Kodachromes, residential neighborhood activities, and much more.
As usual, viewers make the soundtrack. Audience members are asked to identify places and events, ask questions, share their thoughts, and create an unruly interactive symphony of speculation about the city we’ve lost and the city we’d like to live in.
Free but an RSVP is required. Registered guests will be offered priority admission that will be honored until 15 minutes before the start of the event.
