San Lorenzo Creek traverses a ribbon of wild land that cuts through suburban hills on the eastern side of San Francisco Bay. It's a nature film that is also, inextricably, a city film. Its images document a space populated by synanthropes (wild animals that find habitat within urbanized environments) and trace the contours of an ecosystem where introduced or invasive plant species entangle with those that are native to the region. This complex mix of layers reflects the social processes of colonization and urbanization that shape the contemporary natural world.
