American Fiction (15) | Dir. Cord Jefferson | 2023 | USA | IMDb 7.5 | 117 mins

A novelist who is fed up with the establishment profiting from Black entertainment uses a pen name to write a book that propels him into the heart of the hypocrisy and madness he claims to disdain.

An intelligent and very funny take on many topical sensitivities relating to race, class and cultural life. A frustrated black academic and highbrow novelist vents his frustration with the American literary world pandering to black stereotypes by writing a satirical work under a pseudonym. However, the joke soon begins to take on a life of its own. Jefferson’s directorial debut won numerous awards and received five Oscar nominations.

Entry is free for HFS members.

Tickets for non-members cost £6 each (Under 25's £3). These can be purchased online or will be available on the night from the HFS desk in the Odeon lobby (contactless payments only please, we are not taking cash this season). A small processing fee will be applied to all tickets.

Please note that doors open at 7pm and the film will start at 7.30pm. All seating is unreserved so grab a seat wherever you like.
