The Last Black Man in San Francisco

6 p.m.
Phyllis Wattis Theater, Floor 1
Free. RSVP encouraged. Seating available on a first come, first served basis.
Join us for a special screening of Joe Talbot’s indie hit The Last Black Man in San Francisco (2019). Rooted in personal experience and featuring actors Jimmie Fails and Jonathan Majors, the feature-length film is a San Francisco tale of gentrification, loss, and life on the margins. The event will kick off with a screening of TT Takemoto’s four-minute film Wayward Emulsions (2018), which the artist describes as “queer glimpses of a wayward woman captured in bits of emulsion lifted from stray reels of a 35mm Asian drama.”
Organized in partnership with City College of San Francisco, this special screening highlights recent achievements of alumni Talbot and Takemoto, both of whom received high praise at Slamdance and Sundance for these films. The evening will conclude with a panel conversation between actor Jimmie Fails, scholar Aliyah Dunn-Salahuddin (PhD candidate, History, Stanford University), and artist TT Takemoto, moderated by Anjali Sundaram, Cinema Production faculty at CCSF.
