San Francisco has been a leader in real estate speculation, internet sex, social networking, and the dot com goldrush. A byproduct of long-term and rapid change has been the loss of lower-income, hippy, and queer counterculture. Bars, baths, restaurants, cafes, bookstores and other queer spaces have been submerged and lost, leaving behind faded signs or custom fittings – the stained glass sign of the Rainbow Cattle Company, or the etched glass of the Elephant Walk. This experimental documentary film, directed by Jack Curtis Dubowsky and shot by Wilfred Galila, with historical images from the GLBT Historical Society, looks at physical spaces that once belonged to queer, lesbian, and communities of color in San Francisco, and what they are now. What, if anything, remains of queer spaces dating back to the 1930s to the 1980s? Join this expedition of urban archeology where we look for actual remnants of the Ebb Tide, the Tool Box, the Purple Pickle, the White Swallow, the Honey Bucket, the Fickle Fox, Bligh's Bounty, Maud's, and many others throughout the city. The Jack Curtis Dubowsky Ensemble, a groundbreaking new music ensemble led by classical and film composer Jack Curtis Dubowsky, combines acoustic instruments, electronic hardware, composed material and structured improvisation. The Ensemble treats analog synth as a rare and unpredictable performance instrument. The Ensemble's contemporary electroacoustic music is performed live with no overdubs or sequencing. The Ensemble just released its second album, II, and returned from an April tour of the east coast. The Ensemble has played chamber concert series, new music series, galleries, alternative performance spaces, and has also presented programs of live music to experimental film. Personnel Jack Curtis Dubowsky : Roland Jupiter 6 Polyphonic Analog Synthesizer, Electric Bass, Percussion Hall Goff : Trombone, Electronics Fred Morgan : Drums, Percussion This event received a Creating Queer Community Commission from Queer Cultural Center funded through the San Francisco Foundation.
