      FOREWORD

      English clichés for traveling are frightening. Do you ever wonder what other countries call tourist traps?

      How about this whole thing Americans have about "going off the beaten path, and seeing the real" (read: unknown) New York, Argentina, Montreal? And while we’re pretty much identical, Canadians are a whole other matter—they want to see the real world (usually backpacking), but make it clear with flag-patches that they are Canadian. Well, I’m all for traveling through the real Americas (North and South), but what better way to do that than through fiction? Specifically, through film.

      Museyon Guides: Film+Travel is partially an attempt at answering my own questions. Our curators, are all pretty much qualified to teach film classes at colleges, and some of them actually do. They elucidate the ways in which the silver screen has framed a region—who doesn’t think of Gone With the Wind when hearing the South?—or transformed it—if I had a nickel for everytime Toronto played Detroit … But the Museyon Guide is also the reference you want for your next cocktail icebreaker. Take this foreword, for example. You can ask any of these questions out loud at the next party, and I guarantee you won’t go home alone. (Legal ed.—The opinions voiced by Museyon Guide’s staff, including its editor-in-chief, are not representative of the company and guarantees will not be substantiated in part or whole at any time.)

      Museyon is the guide book written by pedants for dilettantes. Own it. Go out there. It’s a small world but it’s filled with secret realities.

      Find them with us.

      HAUNTING AND BEAUTIFUL

      SAN FRANCISCO, USA

      Maybe it’s San Francisco’s topography: all those hills and peaks, the picturesque streets lined with brightly painted Victorian houses that suddenly give way to sheer, plummeting angles. Or maybe it’s the climate. In San Francisco, there are days shot through with clear northern California light, and then there are days bound up in dense, clinging banks of fog. Whatever the reason, the men roaming the city streets are haunted. At least the ones on film are. Despite its reputation for Summer of Love-loving, Beat-living, rainbow flag-waving and all-around-cheerful eccentricity, the city has contributed to a startlingly large number of celluloid misfits and obsessives to the silver screen.

      There is no question that the city is easy on the camera eye. So many films set here open with long panoramic shots, sweeping across postcard-famous vistas including Coit Tower, the Transamerica Pyramid, the Ferry Building, the Bay Bridge, Treasure Island, Alcatraz, the Embarcadero, the Marin Headlands and, of course, the Golden Gate Bridge. In some movies, the city may remain a mere backdrop,
