A special preview screening of the documentary, followed by a Q&A with the co-directors, Ted Bahr and Jesse Block, with special guest legendary poster artist Victor Moscoso.
San Francisco's Big five and the Psychedelic Poster Revolution tells the story of the five young San Francisco artists—Wes Wilson, Stanley Mouse, Alton Kelley, Victor Moscoso, and Rick Griffin— who transformed the humble concert poster into a revolutionary new art form. Their work became the visual language of the Summer of Love, reflecting the music, experimentation, and utopian spirit of the era. Set in Haight-Ashbury from 1966-1969, this documentary brings that remarkable moment back to life through the artists, musicians, historians, rare archival material, and the extraordinary posters they created.
