 \n\nABOUT THE FILM: After UC Berkeley Extension announced plans to close 
 its San Francisco campus and convert it into condos, documentary filmmaker 
 and Extension insider, Eliza Hemenway, picked up her camera and filmed the 
 final months leading up to the closure. The result is footage that is 
 hauntingly beautiful and courageous as she confronts upper management and 
 chronicles the transformation of a historic campus from a thriving center 
 of art, education and community into a virtual ghost town. Hemenway also 
 creates an intimate portrait of her coworkers in the midst of mass layoffs 
 and uncertainty. Brutal in its honesty, the film reflects global economic 
 forces playing out in a public institution claiming to represent culture, 
 civility and higher learning. \n\nFor more information about Uncommon
