About the film

When Johnny’s successful life trajectory as a banker and a soon-to-be-groom is upended when his (unsatisfied) fiancée Lisa decides to seduce his best friend Mark, he begins taping phone conversations between Lisa and her mother in an attempt to figure out who Lisa is having an affair with. Meanwhile, as things spiral downward for Johnny, he leans more on Mark and a psychologist for help keeping it all together. However, the affair between Mark and Lisa comes to light (in a very public way), flinging Johnny headlong into a nervous breakdown…and worse!

About the event

About Peter Greste

Professor Peter Greste is an award-winning foreign correspondent who spent 25 years working for the BBC, Reuters and Al Jazeera in some of the world’s most volatile places. From Afghanistan, to Latin American, Africa and the Middle East, he reported from the frontlines and beyond, although he is best known for becoming a headline himself, when he and two of his colleagues were arrested in Cairo while working for Al Jazeera, and charged with terrorism offences. In letters smuggled from prison, he described the arrests as an attack on media freedom. The letters helped launch a global campaign that eventually got them released after more than 400 days in prison. He has since become a vocal campaigner and advocate for media freedom – a stance that has earned him awards from Britain’s Royal Television Society, the Walkley Foundation, the RSL’s ANZAC Peace Prize, the Australian Human Rights Commission’s Human Rights Medal, and the International Association of Press Clubs’ Freedom of Speech Award. He has written about his experiences in Egypt and what he regards as the global war on journalism in a book, The First Casualty.

About the film

Jeffrey Wright stars as Thelonious “Monk” Ellison, a writer who decides (half-jokingly) to write a novel that leans heavily into racial stereotypes to appease his publishing company who claims his work isn’t “black” enough (but, also, a little out of spite at having poor sales for his hard work as a novelist). The book, however, becomes an unexpected critical and financial success, and Ellison is faced with juggling the fame and fallout from his underhanded act.

A smart and sharp comedy, American Fiction, based on Percival Everett’s novel Erasure, has been highly praised by critics and is considered by many to be Jeffrey Wright’s finest performance in a career full of stellar roles. Featuring a fantastic supporting cast that includes Tracee Ellis Ross, Sterling K Brown, and John Ortiz, the film not only won numerous awards on the independent film festival circuit, but was also nominated for 5 Oscars, including Best Picture and Best Actor, and won the Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay.
