2018 PROXY FALL FILM FEST: Sorry To Bother You

The 2018 PROXY Fall Film Fest of outdoor cinema finishes with our final feature on Friday, November 2nd at the PROXY Walk-In Theater with:

SORRY TO BOTHER YOU

Directed by Boots Riley, 2018 [R]

If you’re not bothered — also tickled, irked, mystified and provoked — by Sorry to Bother You, then you’ve fallen asleep on the job. -A.O. Scott, The New York Times

In an alternate present-day version of Oakland, black telemarketer Cassius Green (Lakeith Stanfield) discovers a magical key to professional success, which propels him into a macabre universe of “powercalling” that leads to material glory. But the upswing in Cassius’ career raises serious red flags with his girlfriend Detroit (Tessa Thompson), a performance artist and minimum-wage striver who’s secretly part of a Banksy-style activist collective. As his friends and co-workers organize in protest of corporate oppression, Cassius falls under the spell of his company’s cocaine-snorting CEO Steve Lift (Armie Hammer), who offers him a salary beyond his wildest dreams.

Presented by HERE FOR NOW, the FREE, Friday evening film screenings begin at dusk with ‘doors’ opening at 6:00 pm.

Come early to claim a good spot, enjoy a ice-cold beer from Fort Point Beer Company (all proceeds support outdoor cinema at PROXY!) and wood-fired pizza from Del Popolo.
