 ABOUT “BOOMTOWN: REMAKING SAN FRANCISCO”

The modern history of San Francisco is marked by booms and busts and continuous reshaping. Whether it delights or disturbs is open to debate. This variety program addresses that ever-burning San Francisco conundrum, “How does our city deal with change?” With short documentaries, live storytelling, essays and fiction, our participants will provide perspectives on the meanings, effects and stakes of the city’s ongoing grappling with historical, cultural, architectural and demographic shifts. Our insightful participants will include former SF Bay Guardian and current 48Hills Online editor Tim Redmond; filmmakers Elisabeth M. Spencer, Lauren Tabak, Susie Smith, Jimmie Fails and Joseph Talbot; artist and archivist Vero Majano; artists and curators Melonie and Melorra Green; 2015 Festival filmmaker Jenni Olson (The Royal Road); and the collaborative film work of John “B” Berzins, Jim Granato, Nicole Minor, Doug Schultz, Anjali Sundaram and Phoebe Tooke. —Sean Uyehara
