Wednesday, December 5, 2018 | 6-7p and 9-10p
The Screen atop Salesforce Tower, SF
FREE to watch – RSVP on Facebook

Subject to weather

From 6-7pm and again from 9-10pm, you’ll get to see a 4K super-high-resolution scan of the legendary pre-quake A Trip Down Market Street short film (filmed April 1906 just days before the earthquake and fire) made from the best existing material, showing detail that no audience has seen in over one hundred years.

Want to see this film in a movie palace instead?
If you want to see the film on a regular movie screen, it’s being shown at the Castro Theater at 7:30pm on December 4th as part of the “Lost Landscapes” annual film screening of newly found historical film footage of San Francisco. Get Tickets ($10 off with code FUNCHEAP)
