The Fort Stockton Film Society will present a free community screening of the acclaimed film Gran Torino on Saturday, Feb. 21, with a 2 p.m. matinee at the historic Nelson Street Theatre.
Doors will open at 1:30 p.m. for the event, which organizers say will include complimentary popcorn and drinks for attendees. Admission is free, courtesy of the Rea Charitable Trust.
Released in 2008 and starring Clint Eastwood, Gran Torino follows Walt Kowalski, a retired auto worker and Korean War veteran confronting cultural change in his Detroit neighborhood after the arrival of Hmong immigrant families. The film explores themes of prejudice, redemption, and community connection, earning critical praise and strong audience reception.
The screening will take place at the Nelson Street Theatre, located at 102 S. Nelson Street in Fort Stockton. The Fort Stockton Film Society regularly hosts film events aimed at providing accessible cultural programming for the community.
Community members of all ages are invited to attend.
