About this Event
FAK: Food. Film. Art. After Dark is a different type of night out. Every volume brings a different world and menu.
VOLUME 1: Welcome to Red Cup Juke Joint
There’s no host to follow or schedule to keep. Step inside and let the music, light and room guide you. The after-dark world is a little Southern, smoky and mysterious, with music, food, cinema and conversation. have yourself a drink, find something to eat, play a hand or stay awhile.
Music
Before the film, the room belongs to blues and soul from the South, the Delta, Memphis, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana and places the sound traveled. When the credits roll, the music returns. Scan the playlist QR code around the space to take tonight’s soundtrack with you.
Film
Ruby’s Bucket of Blood is a Southern Gothic tale of art, desire, violence, ambition and the complicated people who gather around it. Moody, strange, beautiful in places and uncomfortable in others, it offers a world to step into. When the music stops, the film begins.
Food & Drink
There’s no formal dinner, buffet line or waiting for a server—just a small menu to enjoy throughout the evening. When you’re ready, scan a food and drink QR code around the room, choose and pay.
