Acclaimed Oakland filmmaker Boots Riley's new movie, set in the Bay Area, to premiere next month
Oakland’s visionary filmmaker Boots Riley rarely misses an opportunity to feature his city in his projects, and that’s proven to be the case in his next, highly anticipated, star-studded film "I Love Boosters."
Riley’s latest movie project is set to have its world premiere next month, as it has been chosen as the Opening Night film for the 2026 South by Southwest Film & TV Festival in Austin, Texas.
True to his signature avant-garde directorial style, "I Love Boosters" is a fantastical, politically charged, satirical film, a "mind-bending story," according SXSW, about a savvy crew of shoplifters known as the Velvet Gang that take aim at a "cutthroat fashion maven." They then resell the high-end pieces at a lower price, à la Robin Hood.
