While conventionally viewed through the prism of Watergate and national politics, reframing or remapping the film in its specific urban context provides an alternative perspective on New Hollywood filmmaking and its participation in new paradigms of production, consumption and labor. In this article, I explore San Francisco's distinctive role through close analysis of The Conversation (Francis Ford Coppola, 1974), a key text of seventies cinema. As a rapidly redeveloping city at the cutting edge of high-tech, post-Fordist production, San Francisco offered the spaces and capital arrangements necessary to allow Hollywood sufficient breathing room to reconfigure both its relationship to its own talent and its viewers' relationship to films in ways that would fully enlist both groups in the post-industrial economy. This article examines the role played by the city during a decade of crisis and reorganization for the film industry, arguing that its contribution to New Hollywood went deeper than iconic cityscapes or countercultural surface.
Additionally, shock load and degradation to engine bearings is reduced.In the 1970s, San Francisco gained a new importance for post-studio Hollywood. During operation, the skirt coating will hone in to create the perfect amount of clearance between the piston skirt and cylinder wall. This abradable skirt coating allows the engine builder to install the piston with virtually zero piston to wall clearance. The skirts of every LCAT piston, receive our Line2Line Adaptive Skirt Technology coating. UltraTherm CM helps to lower temperatures and lowers the operating temperature of the piston crown during engine operation. In addition, we apply our UltraTherm CM heat reflective thermal barrier to the piston crown. On the crown of every LCAT piston, you will notice the familiar top land and crown Anodizing from the Elite series of pistons. LCAT pistons are made from high strength 2618 aluminum, and feature not One, not Two, but Three protective barriers as standard features! The LCAT is the most feature rich “Off the Shelf” piston available on the market today. If your build calls for a max effort piston, that can handle anything your engine can dish out, look no further than the ICON LCAT Series.
