Fog City: The Talk Show

Filmmaker Sam Green has been exploring the intersection between cinema, performance, and public programs for several years. In this latest iteration of his form-blending practice, Green will present a live talk show on the subject of fog and San Francisco, using materials and several of the subjects from his documentary film project Fog City. Guests will include writer Rebecca Solnit, internet fog video sensation Simon Christen, Karl the Fog, and many others. The talk is part of the Exploratorium's day-long Fog Festival celebration and the first in a new series of Conversations about Landscape.  Fog City: The Talk Show is included with museum admission.  

From behind Exploratorium founder Frank Oppenheimer's desk (which was dug out of storage specifically for this event), Green will interview a number of guests whose lives intersect with fog in interesting ways as well as people with witty and insightful things to say on the subject. This talk show will involve a live studio audience, a sidekick, live music, and many of the other trappings of a late night talk show. This event is co-sponsored by the Oakland Museum.
