Lost Landscapes 02024 Streets, People and Play: The Drama of Daily Life
This year’s LOST LANDSCAPES OF SAN FRANCISCO (the 19th!) casts an archival gaze on the lives of San Franciscan’s and Bay residents.
Drawn from over 400 newly scanned archival films, this year’s film revels in the textures and activities of everyday life, labor and celebration, replaying known and unknown historical moments, daylighting lost and found infrastructures, revealing the scars of settlement and pointing to more hopeful futures. Highlights will include intimate views of the Mission District, recently discovered BART films, coverage of Western Addition redevelopment and displacement, and much more.
