It’s the time of year for yelling at the screen at the Castro Theater as shocking memories flicker by and crowd-sourced details fill the air. The audience is the soundtrack for Rick Prelinger’s new compendium of archival film footage of the Bay Area, now in its 12th year.
This year features North Beach clubs and nightlife, New-Deal labor graphics, early BART footage, a scooters’ rights demonstration, dunes in the Sunset, Barbra Streisand and Ryan O’Neal shooting WHAT’S UP DOC? on location in the Richmond District, more footage of the mysterious Running Man in Chinatown and on Nob Hill, Bay Area activism, Latino families dancing on Ocean Beach, and ever so much more. "Lost Landscapes of San Francisco 12," Rick Prelinger, The Castro Theater, San Francisco, 6:30pm, Tuesday & Wednesday December 12 & 13. The show starts promptly at 7:30pm.
