THE OPENING NIGHT FILM of the SF Documentary Festival

The Treasures of Long Gone John
Gregg Gibbs, 2006, 90 min
West Coast Premiere

Our Opening Night Film is the juicy profile of the groundbreaking
American culture scenes of D.I.Y. indie music and lowbrow/pop
surrealist art.

As the founder of the Sympathy For the Record Industry label, Long
Gone John has single-handedly released over 750 records without ever
signing a contract, and has helped launch the careers of the White
Stripes, Hole, The Dwarves and more.

Inspired by John's immense art collection, the scope of the film
broadens to expose the expanding popularity of lowbrow art, and its
bible, Juxtapose magazine, through a vast assortment of interviews
with artists, collectors, and musicians of this popular culture once
revered as "fringe."

Please join us for the Opening Night After Party at OnSix Gallery (66
Sixth Street at Market). Free admission with your ticket stub, the
party goes until 2a!
