Movie night at Il Caffé: ‘The Last Black Man in San Francisco’

Movie night at Il Caffé, a charming Italian restaurant on a pedestrian road behind the Peón Contreras theater. Have dinner on your own at 6 to enjoy a free movie, aimed at English-speaking audiences, at 7.

Tonight brings the prize-winning indie, “The Last Black Man in San Francisco” (2019), a story where the city itself plays a central role while the people seem to be playing the supporting roles.

One of these is Jimmie, a man who wants to reclaim a house his grandfather built in 1946, even though it is well beyond his reach, financially and otherwise. Winner of two awards at this year’s Sundance film festival, including Best Director for newcomer Joe Talbot, as well as a nomination for the Grand Jury Prize.
