Arts In Film
Keys to a Life Well Lived --
When wondering about the history of an old building, it's often said “if only the walls could talk.” Musical instruments are the same way, with lots of songs and stories played out over the years. And whether it's a Stradivarius or a beat up relic, as long as it still works, it's a vehicle for someone to create new music.
Victoria is a documentary short about an old piano, Victoria, and the people who play her. Located in the St. Anthony Dining Room in San Francisco, Victoria is visited and played daily by many of San Francisco's homeless and low-income population. Although out of tune, missing keys and having broken pedals, Victoria, as one guest says, 'is just like us, she may be all broken but she still plays, she still has a melody.' An upright grand that has a mostly unknown history and may have seen a better day, it could still be argued that Victoria has never sounded so good.

Cinema of Conscience
In 2007, forty years after the summer of love, three young people fresh out of college, moved to San Francisco to find the spirit of the sixties. At a time when the youth of this country had grown increasingly complacent and, at times, indifferent, these three tried to break through that mentality and bring back that sense of peace, love, and activism that was exceedingly widespread in the 1960's.Along their journey they meet characters from the sixties who open their eyes to inescapable parallels of common wars and common struggles. You'll journey with them as they take you down a hilarious and emotional roller coaster.
