Films From the Vault: The Searchers

Thursday, January 11 at 7 PM

“Through the central image of the frontier, the meeting point of wilderness and civilization, Ford explores the divisions of our national character, with its search for order and its need for violence, its spirit of community and its quest for independence”
— Dave Kehr, Chicago Reader

KPAC presents Films From the Vault, classic films screened from our very own collection and the admission is free! An American Civil War veteran embarks on a years-long journey to rescue his niece from the Comanches after the rest of his brother’s family is massacred in a raid on their Texas farm. THE SEARCHERS is an epic John Ford Western starring John Wayne that introduces dark ambivalence to the genre that remains fashionable today.
