More Bay Area screenings

A couple of blogs ago, I wrote about a recent project - a record of screenings of Louise Brooks films in the San Francisco Bay Area. Over the last few days, I got some additional work done, and am posting what I have so far found regardings Brooks' three European films. I would appreciate knowing from anyone who might know of screenings not noted here.

Prix de Beaute

Bay Area screenings:   Palace Hotel in San Francisco (July 26, 1974 as part of Art Deco Film Festival ***); Pacific Film Archive in Berkeley (May 16, 1982 and June 12, 1982 as part of the series “Rediscovering French Film”); Pacific Film Archive in Berkeley (Oct. 10, 1985 as part of the series “A Tribute to Louise Brooks (1906-1985)”); Pacific Film Archive in Berkeley (May 21, 2000).

I also included a few local television broadcasts. All in all, I think this is a remarkable record. The Bay Area certainly loves Lulu.
*** the film series was curated by then San Francisco resident Kenneth Anger. The series was adjunct to a major Art Deco exhibition on display at a local museum.
