Come catch an early free screening of "American Fiction," the story of a novelist who's fed up with the establishment profiting from "Black" entertainment.
AMERICAN FICTION | 2023 | DIRECTOR: Cord Jefferson | WITH: Jeffrey Wright, Skyler Wright, John Ales, Issa Rae | RUNNING TIME: 1H 57M | RATED R for language throughout, some drug use, sexual references and brief violence | 4K DCP PROJECTION
Cord Jefferson's hilarious directorial debut confronts our culture's obsession with reducing people to outrageous stereotypes. Jeffrey Wright stars as Monk, a frustrated novelist who's fed up with the establishment profiting from "Black" entertainment that relies on tired and offensive tropes. To prove his point, Monk uses a pen name to write an outlandish "Black" book of his own, a book that propels him to the heart of hypocrisy and the madness he claims to disdain.
"In 'American Fiction,' the comic and tragic go hand in hand. Each moment is layered with meaning, socially, politically, and emotionally. The film, based on the novel “Erasure” by writer and professor Percival Everett, is part satire, part romantic comedy, all combined with thoughtful family drama. With an all-star cast and talented writer at the helm, “American Fiction” is poised to become an audience favorite." -- Jourdain Staples, IndieWire
