Mission Muralismo Film Series Part 2 ~ 7:00 p.m. ~ Koret Auditorium
Francisco Herrera will open the evening with a classic Mission street song. Enjoy a spectacular evening of rare and cutting edge, old-school and new-school Mission filmmaking shadowing and illuminating Mission art and life. Q&A will follow the screening, with filmmakers and the Mission Muralismo artists and community. Blame It on the Reds (1972, 10 min.) ~ Mission Mediarts Archives Poet Roberto Varges responds to the murder of Vincent Gutierrez, who was found dead in a SFPD paddy wagon. Paco's Tacos Mural Dedication (1974, 5 min.) ~ Michael Nolan Las Mujeres Muralistas-Consuelo Mendez, Graciela Carrillo, Susan Cervantes and Patricia Rodriguez-created the Paco's Tacos Mural or "Para El Mercado" in support of locally opened businesses and in opposition to McDonald's moving into the neighborhood. It is one of the most famous examples of early feminist art collectives and is cited as seminal in the shifting of power to women artists in transforming community. Joe Bonilla, a real estate broker and owner of Paco's Tacos, funded the mural project. Reminisce (2004, 3 min.) ~ Veronica Majano Using archival images and a golden oldie, Reminisce is a slow cruise through times, place, and the people in San Francisco's Mission district. Calle Chula (1998, 12 min.) ~ Veronica Majano Veronica Majano depicts the character of a street in the Mission district of San Francisco. This street is personified as a 15-year-old Salvadoran/Ohlone girl on a search to understand the changes brought on by colonization, dislocation, and more recently, gentrification. Tracing the history of the Mission from its first residents, the Ohlone Indians, Chula explores the effects of re-colonization on memory and memory loss. For Chula, memory loss is a birthmark that was passed down to her from her ancestors. Calle Chula is Majano's way of addressing the causes and consequences of cultural amnesia. Why I Ride: Low and Slow World Premiere (2010, 30 min.) ~ Conscious Youth Media Crew with Debra Koffler and Veronica Majano Custom painted low-rider cars are central to the visual tableau of the Mission. The spray techniques, palette, and themes link to the nostalgia, color palette and themes of taquería murals, the complex ornamentation of master old-school calligraphy, and spray-can art. In the eighties, in San Francisco’s Mission district on Friday and Saturday nights, the streets would be packed with a parade of candy-apple paint and shiny chrome, cruising up and down Mission Street from 16th to Geneva, where sidewalks filled with young Latinos and other spectators came for the weekend ritual to gather, socialize, and dance to oldies. Through low-riding, young Latinos expressed their cultural pride and claimed their public space. In the Mission district, the streets embodied a unique artistic expression and grassroots community empowerment that would later be threatened by police harassment. Why I Ride: Low and Slow documents the history of street culture and low-riding in the Mission when anti–low-rider traffic laws, police aggression, and stereotypes changed the dynamics of the community. New Mission (2010, 5 min.) ~ Armand Emamdjomeh New Mission is a slideshow of photographs taken over two years in San Francisco's Mission district, a neighborhood that is walking the line between Latino working class and the West Coast mecca of cool. Poem "In Twenty Years" by Marcella Ortiz. 35mm black and white negative film, HD video Plus Enjoy French music classics with DJ Schmeejay and live gypsy jazz with Gaucho, Tarot card readings and henna by Holistic Henna in the Piazzoni Murals Room and art-making with Mademoiselle Kim, and September Artist-in-Residence Alexandra Blum. Programs are free. Museum admission is always free to members; regular admission fees apply for non-members to visit the galleries. Special exhibition tickets are required to visit Birth of Impressionism: Masterpieces from the Musée d'Orsay. |
