Past Movie Nights

September 6, 2024

Sundown Cinema was in Duboce Park on Friday, September 6  for an exclusive showing of San Francisco’s Lost Landscapes: Found Home Movies. Many park regulars thought this was the biggest crowd ever in Duboce Park with attendance estimated at 500 people.

SF’s Lost Landscapes is an eclectic montage of lost and rarely-seen film clips showing life, landscapes and labor in San Francisco as captured by amateurs, newsreel cameramen and industrial filmmakers. The footage was carefully curated by Rick Prelinger, a Bay Area guerrilla archivist who collects the home movies showing San Francisco’s people, neighborhoods, infrastructures, and celebrations from the early 20th century through the 1980s.

Sundown Cinema was presented by San Francisco Parks Alliance and Alamo Drafthouse Cinema. It is produced by SF Parks Alliance and DoTheBay in partnership with the SF Rec & Park, SF OEWD, Presidio Trust, and Port of San Francisco.
