Vincent Woo surreptitiously stuck a GoPro to the front of a BART train to make this magical film, Tunnel Vision. An SF Gate reporter described the vibe in the sold out theater where it screened this month:
The best part of the experience was not the surreal footage but the chance to share it with an enthusiastic audience. The crowd was peppered with San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency merchandise: Muni hoodies and BART beanies and Christmas sweaters. When the train pulled into a station, the audience sometimes clapped and cheered. (16th and Mission got the most cheers. I tried to start a round of applause at Powell Street, but it didn’t catch on.) A man sitting in front of me began headbanging to the chime of the closing doors.
Woo has generously uploaded Tunnel Vision for us all to enjoy.
Slow TV SF-style! Thanks for posting this, Erik.
Super cool! Thank you so much for sharing. Its unique view of the familiar, reminded me a little of a helicopter ride view around the SF Bay that one of the transit systems made years ago and showed at the Oakland Museum.
I just finished watching the documentary, and also Vincent Woo’s spot being interviewed on KTVU (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SHaV0tCRlgw). Thanks again for drawing our attention to this interesting film, Erik.
that was excellent! thank you!
