May 5 2024 - American Fiction (15)

Join us for a screening of American Fiction (15) in the Screening Room on 5 May 2024 at 4 PM.

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 his own outlandish "Black" book--that propels him into the heart of hypocrisy and the madness he claims to disdain.

Run time: 1hr 57 minutes
