Projectors will be used to cast digital images on the 210-foot concrete tower that sits atop Telegraph Hill. At least five films will be shown, one after another, on the evenings of November 25 and 26.

The viewings, scheduled to run from about 6:00-11:00 p.m. Nov. 25 and starting again at dusk on Thanksgiving Day through 7 a.m. Friday, will be postponed in the event of rain or heavy fog, said David Mark, an organizer.
