“It is the story of friendship, legacy and also the story of ownership.” New featurette for writer-director Joe Talbot’s incredible feature debut, THE LAST BLACK MAN IN SAN FRANCISCO, opening in cinemas on October 25th.
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 the other locals on the margins, The Last Black Man in San Francisco is a poignant and sweeping story of friendship, community, and the true meaning of home. Joe Talbot’s directorial debut is a deep and resonant meditation on the stories we tell ourselves to find our place in the world.
THE LAST BLACK MAN IN SAN FRANCISCO- Irish release date is October 25.
