OPENING NIGHT FILM
Winner of the top jury prize at the LA Film Festival. Brooklyn hipster Max (Sean Bones) and girlfriend Willow (Norah Jones) have won a free Caribbean cruise. But then Willow dumps Max, and with no friends willing to take a cruise (even ironically), he decides to go alone. After docking in Jamaica, Max flees the tourist zone for more authentic environs, and in the process loses all of his clothes, possessions, and middle-class white privilege. Heading to the American Embassy in Kingston on foot, Max has extraordinary encounters, including a full-moon celebration with the reggae group the Congos, and a dreamy stay with a Rasta prophet (Carl Bradshaw, The Harder They Come).
Co-presented by the SF Film Society.
