Visions of a City

Year: 1978

Director: Lawrence Jordan

Documentary

Sepia toning gives Larry Jordan’s 1957 footage of San Francisco a romantic, wistful feel, though edited in 1978. The film moves at an unhurried pace, offering a calmer view than today’s bustling city. Jordan’s work builds an internal narrative that culminates with poet Michael McClure after a generous display of striking visual moments.
