"Notes on the Port of St Francis" (1952) by SF experimental film pioneer Frank Stauffacher matches scenes of San Francisco to Robert Louis Stevenson's "San Francisco: A Modern Cosmopolis" (1883), read by Vincent Price.
"In Between" (1955) is a rare sound film by Stan Brakhage,
his portrait in surrealist style of the renowned Bay Area artist Jess with a cameo by poet Robert Duncan and soundtrack by John Cage.
In Lawrence Jordan's mystical "Visions of a City" (1957/78) Michael McClure plays a man trapped in the glazed surfaces of late 50s SF.
Charles Olson's 1968 reading from "The Maximus Poems" is visually inflected in an early experimental video by Robert Zagone and Loren Sears.
Finally the San Francisco reprise of "Daydream of Darkness" (1963) by Berkeley Renaissance poet Helen Adam and painter William McNeill screens with a new CD soundtrack by poets Kristin Prevallet, Drew Gardner, Lee Ann Brown,
Beth Brown Al-Rawi and Nada Gordon.

Cosponsored by Small Press Traffic and the Visual Criticism Program at CCA
Son of an Iraqi father and a Palestinian mother, Lebanese artist Jalal Toufic is a film theorist, video artist, and writer who creates works filled with philosophical reflections, humor, and curiosity about all facets of life. Richard Foreman writes that Toufic "documents the moves of consciousness in a way that leads the reader ever deeper, from impasse to illusion to new impasse?turning the trap of 'what can't be named' into a true paradise." Toufic's videos and mixed media works have been presented worldwide, and include Phantom Beirut: A Tribute to Ghassan Salhab, 2002; Saving Face, 2003; and The Sleep of Reason: This Blood Spilled in My Veins, 2002. His books include Distracted, Vampires, Over-Sensitivity, Forthcoming, and Undying Love or Love Dies.
