• 8:15-ish – Screening of the 16th “LOST LANDSCAPES” – 80 minutes

This 16th LOST LANDSCAPES radiates out from San Francisco, extending its archival gaze to the infrastructures, people and landscapes of California north, south, east and west. Made from archival images of San Francisco and other cities, towns and places throughout California where nature and culture meet, 2021’s show fixes on the history of our state’s resources, the scars of settlement and its backbones: transportation, extraction, communication, travel and labor. California’s many peoples, communities and histories all intersect in a panoramic poem documenting the past and suggesting possible futures in an age of climate and seismic uncertainty.

This year’s film combines home movies, government-produced and industrial films, feature-film outtakes and many other surprises (including newly discovered San Francisco historical images). As with all LOST LANDSCAPES events, the audience makes the soundtrack, and you are cordially invited to identify people, places and events, pose questions to one another and to the host, and engage in spirited conversation as the film plays.
