Movie of the Month: AMERICAN FICTION

Come see Cord Jefferson's  AMERICAN FICTION on the big screen in our program room!

Thelonious “Monk” Ellison's writing career has stalled because his work isn't deemed “Black enough.” Monk (Jeffrey Wright), a writer and English professor, writes a satirical novel under a pseudonym, aiming to expose the publishing world's hypocrisies. The book's immediate success forces him to get deeper enmeshed in his assumed identity and challenges his closely-held worldviews.

AMERICAN FICTION won the award for Best Adapted Screenplay at this year's Oscars, where it was also nominated for Best Picture, Best Actor (Jeffrey Wright), and Best Supporting Actor (Sterling K. Brown).

This film is rated R, and runs 2 hours. It will be screened with English subtitles for the hard of hearing.

This screening is free and open to the public, with no registration required.

Free popcorn will be served (while supplies last).

Doors open 30 minutes before showtime.
