Fort Worth, TX
9/22/2011
TCU’s Film, TV and Digital
Media Department announces the Fall 2011 Thursday Night Film Series. Each
week’s program includes a cartoon as well as a classic movie and introductory
remarks about the making of the movie, its stars and its director. The series
is open to the public, and admission is free. Donations will be accepted to
offset licensing fees FTDM must pay for the rights to publicly show the movies.
Screenings are at 7 p.m. Thursday nights in Room 164, Moudy Building South. Parking
is available behind Moudy South.
The series, which opened
Sept. 8, includes a variety of film genres and styles, from classic comedies to
war pictures to musicals. This fall the series includes several aviation-themed
movies, since the Texas Aviation Centennial Committee is sponsoring two of the
screenings: Dawn Patrol (1938) (which
played Sept. 15) and The Great Waldo
Pepper starring Robert Redford.
Dr. Joan McGettigan,
associate professor, has presented the Thursday Night Film Series since 1998.
Viewers come from all over the Metroplex, and those who attend are encouraged
to request their favorite movies for future semesters.
