Get Lost in the Mystery of Fog at After Dark

Fog is the stuff of legends, extolled by writers, expounded upon by filmmakers, and studied by meteorologists across the globe. Swirling, beautiful, and occasionally creepy, fog is a salient part of San Francisco's identity-something we may love, or hate, but which we rarely ignore.

After Dark: Fog, the Exploratorium's adults-only (18 & over) evening event will celebrate the all-encompassing, shape-shifting nature of fog with a variety of fun, fog-related activities. It's an opportunity to bid adieu to Fog Bridge, the popular immersive outdoor art installation by Japanese interdisciplinary artist Fujiko Nakaya, slated to close October 6. 

The evening will include a special screening of the new documentary film Fog City, by Exploratorium Cinema Artist-in-Residence Sam Green, a meditation on the beauty and mystery of San Francisco fog. Created in collaboration with cinematographer Andy Black, the work takes a poetic view of a complex natural phenomenon that for many months each year defines the region. Green will provide live narration during the screening, and New York-based band The Quavers will play original music composed for the film. Seating to the screening is limited.
