Lost Landscapes of San Francisco
(2013) 78 min.
Created and presented by Rick Prelinger ​

Rick Prelinger is a guerrilla archivist who collects the uncollected and makes it accessible. Prelinger will present this "Lost Landscapes of San Francisco" film, an eclectic montage of lost and rarely-seen film clips showing life, landscapes and labor in a vanished San Francisco as captured by amateurs, newsreel cameramen and industrial filmmakers. The audience makes the soundtrack and is invited to identify places, people and events, ask questions and interact with one another while the film plays. How we remember and record the past reveals much about how we address the future.
