The 2025 edition of our Black History Month Program is made possible thanks to the generosity of Larry and Donna James and the ongoing support of the Greater Columbus Arts Council, The Ohio Arts Council, the Columbus Foundation, and the National Endowment for the Arts.
A surreal melodrama in which a poor violinist named Sundaisy (Maurice) tries to protect an orphan girl (Wand Maurice) from a small-time hoodlum. Eleven P.M. will be presented with live accompaniment from the Columbus Jazz Orchestra.
About the filmmaker:
Joe Talbot is a fifth-generation San Franciscan and award-winning filmmaker. His feature-length debut, “The Last Black Man in San Francisco” — adapted from the life of childhood friend and longtime collaborator, Jimmie Fails — won the 2019 Sundance Film Festival Directing Award, as well as a Special Jury Prize for Creative Collaboration. The New York Times’ Manohla Dargis called Talbot’s emerging work “heart-skipping, astonishing and exultant” and made it the NYT Critics Pick. Rolling Stone hailed the debut feature as “the best film of 2019.”
