Join us for a free screening of American Fiction (2023), the sharp and darkly funny debut feature from director Cord Jefferson. Starring Jeffrey Wright in a career-defining role, this acclaimed satire follows a frustrated novelist who, fed up with the publishing industry’s narrow expectations, writes a deliberately stereotypical book under a pseudonym — only to watch it become a runaway success. What begins as a joke quickly turns into a biting exploration of authenticity, identity, and the cost of selling out.

Adapted from the novel Erasure by Percival Everett, American Fiction balances razor-sharp social commentary with warmth, wit, and unexpected emotional depth. Both provocative and deeply human, the film invites audiences to reflect on who gets to tell stories — and who decides which stories matter. Stay after the screening for an open discussion with fellow film lovers.
