This year’s centerpiece film at the 2018 SFFilm Festival comes from Boots Riley, an Oakland native who studied film at San Francisco State University and co-founded the hip-hop group The Coup. Riley’s directorial debut, Sorry to Bother You, is set in Oakland and takes on race, humor and capitalism through the eyes of an African-American telemarketer. SFFilm Executive Director Noah Cowan also stops by to give a preview of other festival offerings, including a documentary including a documentary about U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
