Gateway Film Foundation  is proud to unveil its Black History Month 2025 program, a thoughtfully curated selection of films which honor the rich tapestry of Black experiences and showcase the talents of groundbreaking filmmakers.

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.

Jimmie Fails dreams of reclaiming the Victorian home his grandfather built in the heart of San Francisco. Joined on his quest by his best friend Mont, Jimmie searches for belonging in a rapidly changing city that seems to have left them behind.

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.”
