THE LAST BLACK MAN IN SAN FRANCISCO

JULY 19 – 25
THE LAST BLACK MAN IN SAN FRANCISCO

Jimmie Fails dreams of reclaiming the Victorian home his grandfather built in the heart of San Francisco. Joined on his quest by his best friend Mont, Jimmie searches for belonging in a rapidly changing city that seems to have left them behind. As he struggles to reconnect with his family and reconstruct the community he longs for, his hopes blind him to the reality of his situation. A wistful odyssey populated by skaters, squatters, street preachers, playwrights, and other locals on the margins, The Last Black Man in San Francisco is a poignant and sweeping story of hometowns and how they’re made—and kept alive—by the people who love them.
Dir: Joe Talbot / 2019 / US / 120 min

“Gorgeously shot, keenly felt, and utterly original in both style and execution.” – Leah Greenblatt, Entertainment Weekly

“The Last Black Man in San Francisco remains consistently gorgeous and unpredictable.” – Nick Allen, RogerEbert.com

“This is a gorgeously shot film, alternating between images of San Francisco at its most beautiful and promising, and visuals of the lost and the homeless and the forgotten, who might as well be invisible to the techies” – Richard Roeper, Chicago Sun-Times
