  • OTHER CINEMA: PRELINGER’s SORTING THE ARCHIVES + YOUR FILM LIBRARY+

    Arguably America’s most enlightened intelligence on Archival Film, we’re honored to host this crown jewel of the SF-based Internet Archive, Mr. Rick Prelinger, with another relaxed exchange on intellectual history and its easy and useful access.  His talk turns away from the idea of “repositories of the past” towards understanding them as pointers to the future. And on that note: Here Comes the Librarians, our activist cultural saviors fer sure, with a half-hour opener on the SF Public Library’s film collection! YOW!! We’re in for some City-owned 16mm treats, plus a marvelous personal-research story on the Ghost of Charles S. Capp (Street). And HEY!: Bring books to give away at our annual Potlatch, and so to take Others away!! *$8 if book-bound or $9 if not.
