Includes a screening of the very first television episode “Enter the Lone Ranger” as part of the 70th anniversary of the TV show. Introduced by Native actor & writer Jason Grasl (Blackfeet). Screening followed by a conversation with film critic Leonard Maltin and Dawn Moore, daughter of star Clayton Moore.
Directed by Lesley Selander | Starring Clayton Moore, Jay Silverheels, and Douglas Kennedy
Screened in conjunction with Gold at the [Au]try.
This ongoing series explores the wide range of movies that can be considered Westerns, and the ways in which they shape our understanding of the American West. Each screening includes a guest lecturer who will introduce the film and explains its significance in the genre.
