The community web site craigslist.org has become one of the most popular sites on the internet, boasting 10 million unique users. ’24 Hours on craigslist’ documents a random day-in-the-life on craigslist San Francisco of what has evolved into the world’s largest community board. An Ethel Merman drag queen searches for the perfect backup band for her Led Zeppelin covers. Doors for sale, one night stands, compulsive roomates, transsexual erotic services. The mundane and the sublime, the ridiculous and the profound, all come together to paint a portrait of a thriving, humanistic community in the midst of an ever-accelerating culture. Customer Review: so much fun! This film is a celebration of the tremendous value craigslist.org has brought to the lives of its users, specifically in san francisco, but surely around the world where it is now prevalent. While it starts off a bit loose and light, it evolves into an absorbing portrait of the diversity of the san francisco populace, from quirky roommates to alternative and sometimes seedy sex seekers. It captures how craigslist unites us in an almost fantastical community we are proud to be part of. Indeed, it is as much a celebration of San Francisco as it is craigslist. Some have criticized the film for covering too many stories and not concentrating enough on a single narrative. But that wouldn’t represent what craigslist is, and why it’s great. And 24 Hours On craigslist’s broad spectrum of vignettes are edited with great skill, and do allow for a coherent film. It’s funny, poignant, real, and refreshing.
