Admission: PFA first-feature admission admits viewers to all three parts. The three 70-minute segments of Berkeley in the Sixties will be presented consecutively, with a dinner break and time for discussion. (Please note: The Swallow Restaurant will be open for dinner.) The filmmakers invite your comments on this work-in-progress, which is being shown here for the first time in all three parts. Berkeley in the sixties: it was the best of times, it was the worst of times, shaped by the dynamic between two conflicting forces-a vigorous mood of possibility, and an urgent sense of disillusionment, born of new and sometimes terrible knowledge. It was a time of rebellion, which, as the filmmakers note, "at its core was about transformation: a broad, somewhat vague, exploratory impulse having to do more with the soul of America than any specific problem. It was about imagining new ways of living. This is the major theme of the film and it has two strands... political...and cultural." This interpretive history is structured around interviews with ten people whose political journeys continued throughout the era; articulate, critical and insightful, their thoughts provide a balance of perspectives for the wealth of archival footage and historical material with which the filmmakers are dealing. The film details, in Part I, the Free Speech movement as a reaction to McCarthyism and an outgrowth of the Civil Rights movement; in Part II, "the transition from protest to resistance": the anti-war rebellion, the rise of the counterculture and the Black Panthers; and in Part III, the growing revolutionary ferment: the Third World Strike and People's Park. As an assessment of what we have lived through, and as a revelation for the next generation, the film is an invaluable historical document.
