2 special screenings of a new LOST LANDSCAPES film by Rick Prelinger will be on Wednesday 12/3/25 and Thursday 12/4/25 at the Herbst Theater. Long Now Members can reserve a pair of tickets on either night!
Each year LOST LANDSCAPES casts an archival gaze on San Francisco and its surrounding areas. The film is drawn from newly scanned archival footage, including home movies, government-produced and industrial films, feature film outtakes and other surprises from the Prelinger Archives collection and elsewhere.
Rick Prelinger is founder and co-principal of Prelinger Archives in San Francisco, whose moving image holdings may be found online at www.archive.org. With Megan Prelinger, he founded Prelinger Library, a publicly-available collection of historical periodicals, print ephemera, books, maps and documents
