Chinatown Snapshots: San Francisco 1912 (silent)

Creator: A/V Geeks 16mm Films

Description: This film features outtakes from Lewis's footage of San Francisco's Chinatown, including scenes of a Chinese barber at work, a dramatic "stage raid" (possibly staged or symbolic), and an additional vignette with a Chinese apothecary. Shot in 1912, these fragments provide a rare glimpse into early 20th-century life and culture in this iconic neighborhood. The preserved footage offers valuable historical insight into San Francisco's Chinatown and its unique cultural elements.
