Film of San Francisco in 1958

Filed Under SF Bay Area, Video on 2009-10-23, 15:58

One of my favorite songs (“Alone in Kyoto” by Air) and my favorite city, San Francisco. How can you go wrong? The pairing of the music with the video gives me goosebumps.

Jeff Altman restores and posts old videos from his grandfather on Vimeo. He recently discovered that this one, labeled “Alameda 1958″, included some great shots of San Francisco at the time. Can’t wait to see more!

I have never been to San Fransico before but I have always wanted to go. This song is good too.

I didn't get goosebumps but the video is oddly moving, very moving. It's clearly constructed but there's a naivete…a familiarity with the landscape but everything and everyone seems so fresh so young so new. Thank you for sharing it. Now I want to see some others!
