Historical World Fairs: San Francisco (2-DVD Set): Historical World Fairs San Francisco 2DVD Set |
| Product Description : As a child, I was always fascinated by fairs. Unfortunately, some of the world's best expositions were held long before I was born. In this context, it was an exhilarating experience for me to view this rare compilation of films on two great events the city of San Francisco hosted - the 1915 Panama-Pacific International Exposition and the Golden Gate International Exposition of 1939. Filmed on location, you get to see live footage of both the events. Although amateurs shot some of the films, they carry sentiments and scenery, which a professionally made film may have overlooked. You will see a host of dignitaries that graced the opening ceremony at both the fairs. The films serve as a travelogue for the "Jewel City" San Francisco and the picturesque state of California and offer a visual feast of the events at the fairs. This DVD set bears testimony to the vision and amazing capabilities of the citizens of San Francisco at managing events. The inclusion of black and white footage adds to the nostalgia evoked by some of the clips on this DVD. |
