LOST LANDSCAPES 02025: YEAR 20!
LOST LANDSCAPES OF SAN FRANCISCO doubly celebrates this year! First, our 20th anniversary, and second, San Francisco itself — center of creativity, style, resistance and freedom. The city shines throughout this wide-ranging, unbounded panorama made from 128 years of San Francisco moving images with a soundtrack made fresh by you, the audience, as the film plays. Come and share the excitement as we build a new history of San Francisco from assembled film ephemera!
Drawn from some 300 newly-unearthed (and a few familiar) archival films, LOST LANDSCAPES 20 recreates the textures and activities of everyday life, labor and play, replaying known and unknown historical moments, daylighting lost and found infrastructures, revealing the scars of settlement and pointing to more hopeful futures. Highlights will include transportation in the air, water and on the land; images of the City's rich and resilient communities; unfamiliar footage of familiar places; countercultures and counterdemonstrators; and unpredictable moments on the streets.
Each year, LOST LANDSCAPES Patron Tickets support about 25% of Prelinger Library’s annual budget. Please consider supporting this famed South of Market experimental research library, going strong after 20 years, that provides access to artists, historians, community members, researchers and readers of all kinds!
Our mission at The Long Now Foundation is to foster long-term thinking and responsibility. Through our Long Now Talks series which began in 02003 and features speakers from around the world, we hope to ignite cultural imagination around long-term thinking. The talks are filmed live in San Francisco, and we release podcasts and videos from them which are publicly available online.
We are a member and donor supported non-profit organization. You can find more about us online and through our Long Now Newsletter.

With Megan Prelinger, he founded Prelinger Library, a publicly-available collection of historical periodicals, print ephemera, books, maps and documents.
