The African Queen
January 4 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Free
The KPAC will honor the legacy of founder Milburn Kenworthy with a free screening of one of Milburn’s favorite films, THE AFRICAN QUEEN. Executive Director Colin Mannex will open the event with a brief history of KPAC. Everyone will receive a complimentary small popcorn, courtesy of Milburn’s granddaughter, Kimberly Kenworthy Manaut, who is sponsoring this event.
In WWI East Africa, a gin-swilling Canadian riverboat captain is persuaded by a strait-laced English missionary to undertake a trip up a treacherous river and use his boat to attack a German gunship. Perfectly cast, smartly written, and beautifully filmed, The African Queen remains thrilling, funny, and effortlessly absorbing even after more than half a century’s worth of adventure movies borrowing liberally from its creative DNA.
Rated: PG | 1 hr 45 min | Tickets: Free
