October 1, 2018 – Collin College’s Auteur Film Series will screen Pale Rider on Tuesday, Oct. 16 at 7 p.m. in the McKinney Campus Conference Center. The screening is free and open to the public.
Set during the California Gold Rush, Clint Eastwood plays the title role as a traveling preacher who protects a group of independent prospectors terrorized by a greedy mine company who wants to steal their claims. Also directed by Eastwood, the movie fits squarely into this year’s Auteur Film Series theme, “Mavericks and Misfits: Outsiders in Cinema.” Other films in the series include The Imitation Game and In the Heat of The Night.
Doors open 30 minutes before the film begins, and seating is limited. Some material may not be suitable for all audiences. Each film will be followed by a panel discussion led by Collin College faculty and staff.
