LOST LANDSCAPES 02026 recreates the textures and activities of everyday life, replaying known and unknown historical moments, daylighting lost and found infrastructures, revealing the scars of settlement and pointing to more hopeful futures. Highlights will include transportation in the air, water and on the land; images of the City's rich and resilient communities; unfamiliar footage of familiar places; countercultures and counterdemonstrators; and unpredictable moments on the streets.
As always, the film combines home movies, government-produced and industrial films, feature-film outtakes and many other surprises from the Prelinger Library collection.
Each year the Lost Landscapes donations bring in about 25% of the Prelinger Library's annual budget. Please consider supporting this famed experimental research library that gives access to artists, historians, community members, and researchers of all kinds.
