  American Fiction - The Umbrella Film Series

  Enjoy the best of classic, independent, and foreign films curated by The Concord Film Project, with pre-show dinner options.

  In this acclaimed satire, Monk is a frustrated novelist who's fed up with the establishment that profits from Black entertainment that relies on tired and offensive tropes. To prove his point, he 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.

  Tickets: $10.  Optional pre-ordered dinner at 6:30. Film tickets and additional concessions available at the door. Delicious meal options are available as an add-on from Adelita!
