The Bay Area fall cultural calendar spans music, art, theater, film, and community festivals. Music offerings range from underground parties to major outdoor concerts and reliable festivals such as Hiero Day and Hardly Strictly Bluegrass, with performances by acts like Kali Uchis, Larry June, and Burna Boy. Visual art appears across museums, galleries, warehouses, and public spaces, including a Chinatown art festival, the Museum of the African Diaspora reopening, and a large manga exhibit at the de Young. Theater includes local productions and Broadway transfers like Stereophonic, plus premiere hip-hop musicals. Film programming features the Silent Film Festival, a Springsteen biopic, and niche festivals. Community festivals emphasize cultural celebration and benefit events.

Michael Fox's eye for the silver screen has been honed by a lifetime of film viewing - coupled with a non-snobby mind that's open to the new. So while he's excited for the annual return of the San Francisco Silent Film Festival (displaced to Orinda this year), he's also anticipating the Jeremy Allen White-starring Bruce Springsteen biopic and the wonderfully titled Drunken Film Festival.
