This collection of vintage live-action and animated reels is strung together to parallel the pop-fed nostalgia of heyday Haight-Ashbury for Vaus’ “San Francisco,” from The Floating Celebration (Night World).

In the Michaela Čopikova-directed video for White Hinterland‘s “Amsterdam,” animated fox/human hybrids fall for one another with the benevolent assistance of rain and its cultivating power.
