OTHER CINEMA presents BARRY JENKINS

On Saturday, October 3, A.T.A. Gallery’s OTHER CINEMA presents the work of Barry Jenkins. The Bay Area is lucky to be the new home of Mr. Jenkins. Nominated for three Independent Spirit Awards, the prolific director will personally premiere six shorts (Little Brown Boy, My Josephine, Bruce, A Young Couple, One Shot Film, and Tall Enough) before unspooling his much-lauded first feature, Medicine. In muted tones, this compelling love story of strolls, bikes, and one-night stands is told through the eyes of two African-American twenty-somethings. With San Francisco having the smallest proportional Black population of any other major American city, their poignant drift navigates ethnic identity by illustrating how gentrification makes it virtually impossible for urban minorities to just “be.” $6
