for the eleventh year of “Lost Landscapes of San Francisco,“ the annual
archival film program that celebrates San Francisco’s past (with implications
for its future).
(Even when advance tickets are sold out, you can almost certainly get in by
walking up to the door.)
This year’s program features new scenes of San Franciscans working, playing,
marching, and partying during the Great Depression; unseen footage of Seals
Stadium and the Cow Palace in the late 1930s; the reconstruction of Market
Street and Embarcadero Plaza in the 1970s; rare footage of southeastern San
Francisco and the Hunters Point drydock; the 1975 Gay Freedom Day parade; a
1940s-era ode to our fog; many more newly discovered gems; and greatest hits
from past programs.
As always, the audience makes the soundtrack at the glorious Castro Theatre.
Help identify places, people and events; ask questions; engage in spirited
real-time repartee with fellow audience members.
"Lost Landscapes of San Francisco, 11," Rick Prelinger, The Castro Theater, San
Francisco, 6:30pm, TONIGHT & TOMORROW, Tuesday & Wednesday December 6 & 7. The
