The Annapolis Film Festival is thrilled to announce the screening of the feature film, “American Fiction,” on Tuesday, November 21st, 2023, at 7 pm in the Bowen Theater at Maryland Hall in association with the Goldstein Cunitz Film and New Media Center. Doors open at 6:30 PM. Tickets are available now. A cash-only RUSH LINE will be available at the door if tickets remain.
American Fiction is Cord Jefferson’s hilarious directorial debut, which 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.”
This preview screening will take place on Tuesday, November 21st, at Maryland Hall’s Bowen Theater in the Goldstein Cunitz Film and New Media Center. Doors open at 6:30 PM, with the film starting promptly at 7 PM. Seating is general admission. Tickets are available for purchase at www.annapolisfilmfestival.org.
