Guests at a dinner party witness an assault but are strangely unmoved by the events outside their home.

The short film portrays three people wordlessly enjoying dinner together, one of the dinner guests is black. Outside the mansion, in full view of the guests, a black man is assaulted by a police officer. The black dinner guest grows increasingly anxious, his demeanor changes from numb to responsive, the people around him grow uncomfortable. “An Uninvited Guest” is a startling commentary on police brutality that challenges the viewer to contemplate their role in the endless cycle of violence against the black community.

An Uninvited Guest world premiered at the 2020 San Diego Black Film Festival. sdbff.com/friday.html
