What you are looking at is an original used 35mm theatre film that was made in the year 1973 and was shown only to local San Francisco tourists in the San Francisco area in the early 1970s. The name of this 1973 film is Above San Francisco.This film consists of a splendid aerial tour of the San Francisco area and it shows many street level scenes of San Francisco. I don’t think this film has ever played in any area except for the City of San Francisco. This film is narrated by the famous director and actor- Orson Welles. This film has a running time of 45 minutes and is mounted on 2 very full 2000 foot 15 inch diameter 35mm film reels. This 35mm film appears to be complete. I did a little research and I couldn’t find any information about this film. I think that this 35mm print of this film is the only copy of this film in existence.I watched reel # 1 of this film in my 35/70mm theatre and it was in good condition- I only saw two minor splices in the whole reel. The 35mm film image looked bright and clean on the large theatre screen. The colors in this 50 year old 35mm theater film have faded to a Reddish tint. Here are 2 reviews about this film from the IMDB: “In 1973, this film (made especially for tourists visiting Fisherman’s Wharf) played at Ghirardelli Square at the “San Francisco Experience Theater”. A few months later it was moved to the Cannery Cinema, where it played for a couple of years. Finally it was shown at a small theater located at Pier 39.” “A lighter-than-air look at one of America’s most dynamic cities, Above San Francisco played as a special tourist attraction at Fisherman’s Wharf and was later honored by selection for the permanent film library of the University of California Archives, the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the Paris Cinematheque. Narrated by Orson Welles, the film is a visually stunning diorama, as unique as the city itself.” This 35mm film is printed on Eastman Kodak film stock and the colors have faded over time. This film is in good physical condition. These 2 film reels have been stored in a cool place for many years . These 2 film reels have NO warping and NO vinegar smell. I inspected reel one and it has a standard optical soundtrack. Reel 2 has a standard optical soundtrack and a 4 stripe magnetic soundtrack also.I didn’t run reel 2 but it might have 4 seperate soundtracks recorded onto the 4 stripe soundtracks- which is usually why a film would have a 4 stripe magnetic soundtrack also.Reel 2 seems to be in good condition but the last 3 minutes of reel 2 has many cracked edge sprockets – on the very edge of the outside film edge. These edge cracks are on the last 3 minutes of the end credits of the film. I think this film will run fine through a 35mm theater projector- but working some hours using 2 or 3 rolls of PerFix edge repair tape to repair the edge cracks should solve any problems.Being as the edge cracks are on the extreme edge of the outside of the film frame- they will NOT be noticeable on the theater screen when the film is running through the 35mm projector.The first 5 minutes of reel 2 has some very minor sprocket indentations (dents) on the very outside edge of the film frame image. I don’t think these very slight indentations will be noticeable when the film is running on the theater screen.Local pick up of this film is available if desired. I took some digital pictures of the actual 35mm theatre screen images and you can see them above. My vintage digital camera did a poor job showing the sharpness of the actual theater screen images. These 2 film reels of 35mm film footage will weigh about 22 pounds in the shipping box, so ground postage in the Continental USA will be $18.35 – by US Mail- 4th class media rate. I can also ship this film by Fedex ground but the shipping will cost more.
