Janet Delaney & Laura Graham
Two art students move into an apartment in a working-class district of San Francisco and realize their neighbors' housing is at risk due to gentrification. The students delve into their neighbors' stories to learn how this street serves them, just as a new convention center is about to open its doors a few blocks away.
~~~~~~~~~
The SoMa, like the Bay Area and California, has been the epicenter of contested territory since the Spanish first arrived in Yerba Buena. The neighborhood has been remade time after time, through successive waves of induced migration, urban renewal, and displacement. Investments in technology, arts, and culture have frequently positioned SoMa on the leading edge of the city, the region, and the country. Perched at the confluence of east and west, at the edge of both a continent and an ocean, the DNA of the SoMa interlaces narratives of manifest destiny, imperialism, resilience, refuge, and rebirth.
Echo Location is organized by the SF Urban Film Fest, in partnership with Filipino International Cine Festival (FACINE) and Bindlestiff Studio. Co-presenters include Kultivate Labs, Kapwa Gardens, and SoMa Pilipinas.
