American Artifact World Premier at The Red Vic

On Saturday, June 20th, following TRPS Rock Art by the Bay at Ft. Mason, Merle Becker’s documentary American Artifact: The Rise of American Rock Poster Art, had it’s world premier at The Red Vic on Haight St. in San Francisco. The movie is a must see for any rock poster collector or fan. Not only are you seeing poster artists in their studios talking about their craft, you also get a solid history lesson about the rock poster evolution from Elvis to Pearl Jam. Visit americanartifactmovie.com for the screening schedule.

I took some photos outside the theater while waiting in line and also during the Q&A segment after the screening. Below are some of my favorites.
