The Last Black Man in San Francisco (2019)

Together with Heat, an Agency that represents filmmakers, we present a bi-monthly movie night curated by their wide array of passioned creators, designed for everyone looking to connect and be inspired. Every edition will center around a unique host and their inspiring guests; they’ll select a main film that showcases what they are all about and motivates them within their creative field. And they will take you on a two-hour journey into their vision.

This second edition will be hosted by Ashanti Vreden, with 2019's The Last Black Man in San Francisco as the main film. In this love letter to San Francisco from director Joe Talbot, Jimmie Fails wants to try to repossess the Victorian house his grandfather built. Together with his friend Montgomery, he makes a weekly trip through San Francisco to the house, where they mourn the changed neighbourhood. Furthermore, Jimmie tries to connect with his family, but his longing for the house blinds him to reality.

Melkweg often hosts different types of programmes at the same time, such as concerts, club nights and films. Please note that there may occasionally be some noise pollution from other programmes during the screening.
