Citizen Hope Film Screening: Medicine for Melancholy

Citizen Hope (citizenhope.org) and the Osiris Coalition (http://www.sfhdc.org/osiris.html) are proud to host a special screening of Medicine for Melancholy THIS SUNDAY AT 7:20pm at Landmark Embarcadero Cinemas. We will be joined by the Director and a SF native, Barry Jenkins, for a dialogue and Q and A following the film. He will talk to us specifically about the social and political issues the film raises. We’ll also all be heading out for drinks afterwards to continue the discussion.

“Medicine for Melancholy is a love story of bikes and one-night stands told through two African-American twenty-somethings 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.”

This film is getting incredible reviews and we have this awesome opportunity to support an San Francisco director and dialogue with him about his work. The film is set to show in San Francisco for one week only–but if it gets a great turnout this weekend, it could be here for longer. So even if you can’t make our screening, please go out and see it this weekend.

Select, Sunday, March 8th, 7:20 showing.
