I was asked to introduce Bernie in Chicago as he launched his bid to be the 2020 Democratic nominee for President of the United States. Stepping out in front of twelve thousand mostly young people, all screaming for a hopefull future and a decent planet, does make you feel the Bern. Here it is. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DPNHohfzdBE

The Films of Danny Lyon - Vimeo, DVD, and 16mm print rental
After his ground breaking work as a photojournalist in the 1960’s, Danny Lyon turned to films, making a series of non-fiction films in the 1970’s and 1980’s. With the recent recognition of the 2016 de Young/Whitney retrospective, funds were provided to preserve these remarkable 16mm films. High resolution digital scans were made from the original A&B negative rolls under the close supervision of the artist. The DVD covers themselves, first made for VHS tapes, have been recognized for their power and realism, and are on display at the San Francisco Museum of Art show which opened November 3^rd, 2016.
