Incite/Insight Film Series | Shaping San Francisco | City History Lectures

Thurs. February 21, 2013, 8 pm
– Farmcore (dir. Mike Kavanough, 1995, 1 hr)
– This Is Market Street (dir. Darryl Jones, 2012, 25 min)

Farmcore is a documentary that tells the story of San Francisco’s legendary Farm, located in the Mission District during the 1980s. The Farm hosted punk shows that featured such bands as the Dead Kennedys, Bad Brains, Black Flag, and Butthole Surfers. The Farm also hosted community gardens, an art gallery, child daycare center, and a multicultural community space. After all other major punk clubs in the city had been shut down, the Farm raged on until late 1987, when it became an early victim of gentrification of the Mission District.

This is part of the Incite/Insight Film Series, a collaborative production of Shaping San Francisco, New Nothing Cinema, and the Anthropology and Social Change Department at CIIS. Films are at 8 pm at 16 Sherman St. (off Folsom, between 6th and 7th in SOMA). Free and open to the public–potluck: bring beverages to share, as well as your ideas and comments!
