TouristsGGBopening1936ATripDownMarketStreet1906_1Lost Landscapes returns for its 8th year, bringing together both familiar and unseen archival film clips showing San Francisco as it was and is no more. Blanketing the 20th-century city from the Bay to Ocean Beach, this screening includes newly-discovered images of Playland and Sutro Baths; the waterfront; families living and playing in their neighborhoods; detail-rich streetscapes of the late 1960s; the 1968 San Francisco State strike; Army and family life in the Presidio; buses, planes, trolleys and trains; a selected reprise of greatest hits.

As usual, the viewers make the soundtrack — audience members are asked to identify places and events, ask questions, share their thoughts, and create an unruly interactive symphony of speculation about the city we’ve lost and the city we’d like to live in.

      “…the city we’ve lost and the city we’d like to live in…”
      It’s been said far better than I can ever say it, but it’s true…, “You can’t go home again.”

    I came to SF as a 5-year old more than 60 years ago and consider myself a “native,”so am so sorry to have missed this viewing. Would like to know if this will be shown again in the near future.

    Thank you kindly.
