San Francisco was an impressionistic documentary film directed by Anthony Stern.
The film, cut to a version of "Interstellar Overdrive" as performed by Pink Floyd in 1966, pioneered the use of 16 mm single frame cinematography in the late 1960s and went on to win awards for cinematography at the Oberhausen, Melbourne and Sydney Film Festival.
The film was produced by the BFI (British Film Institute) and by Iris Sawyer, Jeremy Mitchell, and Alan Callan.
One of the earliest music videos, the film shows various pictures of San Francisco in the psychedelic era, with rapid cuts and freeze-frames, and Pink Floyd's music.
