SHAPING SAN FRANCISCO‘s 25th B-DAY BASH!OC is overjoyed to host the 25th Birthday celebration of our stalwart Mission District cohort Shaping SF! We’ve been privileged to witness the birth and continued growth of this enlightened Psycho-Geographic org, and tonight were collaborating on a program that is in fact ON our shared neighborhood! Amidst the cake, snacks and drinks, the much-beloved Vero Majano steps forward with a slate of of films and videos that serve as compelling testimonies to the wrenching changes in the ‘hood over the past half-century, starting with Ray Balberan’s little-seen Blame It on the Reds. PLUS Vero’s own I Reminisce, Al Hernandez‘ That Mission Rising, a chapter from the film based on Michelle Tea‘s Valencia, Viva 16, and A Young Girl’s Poem. We round out the evening with Sabrina Alonzo’s Mischief at 16th and Florida. Chris Carlsson and LisaRuth Elliott are also in the house to reflect on a quarter-century of their indispensable research, writings, and guided tours. $10
