November 15, 2018 – Collin College’s Auteur Film Series will screen The Imitation Game on Thursday, Nov. 29 at 7 p.m. at The Angelika Film Center in Plano. The screening is free and open to the public.
Based on the life of British mathematician Alan Turing, The Imitation Game chronicles the race to break the Nazi regime’s Enigma code during World War II and the struggles that Turing endured as he hid his sexual identity from the world. Featuring Benedict Cumberbatch and Keira Knightley, the movie is an excellent example of this year’s Auteur Film Series theme, “Mavericks and Misfits: Outsiders in Cinema.” Other films in the series include In the Heat of The Night and The Elephant Man.
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.
