Description

WALKING CINEMA: MUSEUM OF THE HIDDEN CITY is a multiplatform documentary combining film, live performance, and a location-based mobile application. The project explores San Francisco’s struggle to design economically diverse neighborhoods through the bizarre lens of its housing lottery system. On August 27th, Zendesk will be hosting a free performance of MUSEUM OF THE HIDDEN CITY open to all. Tickets are free, but limited so please RSVP now. The schedule will be the following:


5:30-6:30: Doors and light refreshments (non-alcoholic)

6:30-7:30: MUSEUM OF THE HIDDEN CITY show

7:30-8pm: Q&A with Director Michael Epstein

The film focuses on the story of of Yesenia Ramirez, the matriarch of a young immigrant family that went from homelessness to living in a luxury apartment in the Mid-Market neighborhood after she won the housing lottery. Yesenia goes through a herculean effort to qualify and get into the luxury building only to find even bigger challenges integrating into the building and the trendy neighborhood around it. Behind the film is the story of a city that, unlike most American cities, hasn’t driven its needy citizens into a circumscribed, remote ghetto, but has preserved spaces for the poor in the heart of the city. And so, tucked into most of San Francisco new gleaming residential towers, are units for folks like Yesenia, who inhabit a humbler, hidden city.
