Event Description

Enjoy the best of classic, independent, and foreign films curated by The Concord Film Project, with pre-show dinner options. WEDNESDAY, MAY 21, 2025 at 7:30pm 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. Dramedy/Satire Directed by Cord Jefferson (2023) 1 hr 57 mins Rated R Film 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! Pre-show dinner options from Adelita are an additional $31; the deadline to order meals is Tuesday, May 20 at 12:00pm; dinner quantities are limited.
