Synopsis

In November 1948, James Baldwin moved to Paris with a fellowship. The 24-year-old writer lived there for the next ten years, seeking refuge from racism and his own feelings of isolation. He settled in Paris's Algerian districts and among artists in Saint-Germain-des-Prés, where he began writing his first books. Photographer and filmmaker Yashaddai Owens portrays Baldwin’s initial experiences in Paris with an impressionistic style. Shot in black-and-white on 16mm film, the film captures a sense of wonder and freedom as Baldwin (Benny O. Arthur) explores and embraces his new surroundings, finding individuality and erotic liberation. Set to a vibrant original score by Paco Andreo, *Jimmy* is a portrait of an artist rediscovering himself.
