“This is the only real concern of the artist, to recreate out of the disorder of life that order which is art.” – James Baldwin
Shot in dreamy 16mm black and white, Yasshadai Owens’ debut feature JIMMY offers an intimate, speculative portrait of what a young James Baldwin may have experienced during his first trip to Paris in 1948 🖤
The film is screening February 22 as part of TIFF Cinematheque Special Screenings.
