About the Event

The What Is a Western? Film 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 features a guest lecturer who introduces the film and explains its significance within the genre.

Three people stand in front of a dramatic sunset—one in a black mask and hat wielding a sword, flanked by a man with long hair and a woman in black—above a shadowy landscape and an old building.
A movie poster for "The Mask of Zorro" shows a masked man in a hat, a woman in black, and an older man. The names Antonio Banderas and Anthony Hopkins appear above the title with a gold "Z" slash.
