ESCANABA -- The film American Fiction, originally scheduled for February 29, has been rescheduled to March 21. This is due to the film's slate of Oscar nominations, resulting in the studio altering its release date.
One of this year's most highly regarded films, American Fiction stars Jeffery Wright as Monk, a novelist angered by the media's ability to reduce to people to simplistic stereotypes. He writes a book to mock such things, but his book is a hit, sending into the heart of the issue he is fighting. The Detroit News says Wright, 'is magnetic in the lead role: commanding, flawed, vulnerable, relatable." He is nominated for Best Actor.
The film is also in contention for Best Picture, Best Adapted Screenplay Writing, and Best Supporting Actor.
American Fiction is shown in conjunction with Bay College's Diversity Committee's celebration of Black History month.
All film series movies are shown in the Bay College Besse Auditorium, 2001 N. Lincoln Rd, Escanaba, at 7 p.m. Admission is $2/K-Bay | $5/Adult. Tickets are available at the Besse Center Box Office or online, www.baycollege.tix.com. K-Bay students and employees of the College can purchase their tickets in-person with a valid ID.
