Festival Talk: Filming in San Francisco: A Case Study with Outerlands and Film SF
Description
San Francisco has served as the backdrop for numerous iconic films – Vertigo (1958), The Rock (1996), Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978), The Conversation (1974), among numerous others. Now, the Festival’s Closing Night film Outerlands joins this illustrious pantheon.
