Goody bag contents include:
A copy of If Beale Street Could Talk by James Baldwin courtesy of our friends at Penguin Classics. Baldwin’s novel is the inspiration for the upcoming feature film from Oscar award-winning director Barry Jenkins.
“Achingly beautiful” — The Guardian
James Baldwin’s spare and impassioned love story is charged with universal resonance and power. Tish is 19 and pregnant. Her lover Fonny, father of her child, is in jail accused of rape. Flashbacks from their love affair are woven into the compelling struggle of two families to win justice for Fonny.
Plus win a pair of tickets to see Barry Jenkins’ rhapsodic adaptation of James Baldwin’s Harlem passion story, one of Sight & Sound’s best films of 2018. In his follow-up to the Oscar®-winning Moonlight, Jenkins brings us a beautiful, graceful and emotionally rich adaptation of a James Baldwin novel about black lives in America, letting his images interact with the poetry of Baldwin’s language. If Beale Street Could Talk will be screening at the BFI from 8 February.
To win simply email filmcompetitions@bfi.org.uk with Baldwin in the subject header before 5 February.
