TUESDAY, OCTOBER 28, 7 P.M., live and on Zoom: 

Randall Ann Homan & Al Barna: 
"Cinematic San Francisco Neon"

Neon is in the lens for this illustrated talk at the intersection of San Francisco’s role as a center of filmmaking and as a mysterious night scape of neon signs. San Francisco’s luminous past is on display and neon is a character in this program that features an array of clips like the green neon fog of Alfred Hitchcock’s Vertigo (pictured) to the locations shots of Chinatown in Lady from Shanghai. 
    Join us as we welcome back Al Barna and Randall Ann Homan of San Francisco Neon (sfneon.org) for an illuminating talk.
