MEDICINE FOR MELANCHOLY
Thursday, December 5th at 7PM
Tickets: $15 General Admission/ $7 Reduced Price  

Barry Jenkins, 2009, 87 min.

A love story of bikes and one-night stands told through two African-American twenty-something’s dealing with issues of class, identity, and the evolving conundrum of being a minority in rapidly gentrifying San Francisco-a city with the smallest proportional black population of any other major American city.

Post-screening discussion with programmer Samuel Alicea, with additional guests TBA!

Enlightened and tenderly beautiful… — Michael Fox, SF Weekly

Perfectly self-contained, the film is pure art from the first frame. — D. Scot Miller, San Francisco Bay Guardian
