SAN FRANCISCO—Don’t miss a powerful community screening of HOME IS A HOTEL (2023), a feature-length documentary that examines inequality in San Francisco through the lens of five SRO residents as they fight to stay housed, followed by a discussion with featured community members and filmmakers.
A loving newly-single mother in Chinatown, a blind Latina librettist fighting harassment and eviction, an ex-couple in recovery and co-parenting a 6-year-old son, a spirited graffiti artist ambivalent about painting murals for the tech companies moving into his neighborhood, and a determined mother on a quest to find her runaway daughter while raising a toddler. Through these stories, filmed over five years, this character-driven, verité documentary immerses viewers in what it means to call a single room home in one of America’s wealthiest cities.
NR, 92 mins., 2023. Closed captions (CC) in English.
