The Last Kodachrome Movie: Recent Works in Obsolete Color
Photographers and filmmakers have all been mourning the death of Kodachrome film, the medium of choice known and beloved for its saturated colors. You may even remember the Paul Simon lyric about the film, "They give us those nice bright colors. They give us the greens of summer. Makes you think all the world's a sunny day. So Mama don't take my Kodachrome away." This week, the Exploratorium and San Francisco Cinematheque co-presents The Last Kodachrome: Recent Works in Obsolete Color as a tribute to the late but great film format. 
When: 7:30 p.m., Wed. 11/9
Where: Exploratorium's McBean Theatre, 3601 Lyon St.

When: 8 p.m., Fri. 11/11

Music
Ra Ra Riot
It's common knowledge that these guys do a bang-up live show. Their latest album The Orchard is a beautifully crafted blend of sweet, sad melodies and joyful pop ditties. It's on repeat at our office. Their show at the Great American is sold-out, but it's definitely worth camping out at the box office for any last-minutes no shows.
When: 9 p.m., Fri. 11/11
Where: Great American Music Hall, 859 O'Farrell St.

Dance
Wayne McGregor's Entity and punkkiCo's Pick Cells
British choreographer Wayne McGregor sets his fast-moving compositions to music produced by Coldplay and Massive Attach collaborator Jon Hopkins. The music alone makes this a must-see. Local artist Raisa Punkki's time is now—she's debuting a work that's been two years in the making, which will be featured prominently in local pub In Dance. The piece is about metaphor and minimalism, costumes in chaos, and resilient movement. 
When:Entity, 8 p.m., Fri. 11/11 - Sat. 11/12; Pick Cells, 8 p.m., Fri. 11/11 - Sun. 11/13
