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.
