3rd Wednesday Film Series Presents ‘The Europeans’

The Friends of the Arts and the UT Tyler theatre department will present “The Europeans’’ Oct. 20 as part of the Third Wednesday Film Series.

The film will be shown at 3:30 p.m. and 7 p.m. in the Cowan Center lecture hall, Room 1009. Tickets are $4. UT Tyler, Tyler Junior College and Texas College students will be admitted free with valid ID.

This semester, the series of classic, documentary and foreign films features the work of independent artists Ismail Merchant and James Ivory.

Based on a novel by Henry James, the story takes place in a New England Arcadia that stands for everything beautiful, pure and good. Into this Eden come a sophisticated European brother and sister who turn up unexpectedly on the doorstep of their staid American cousins, the Wentworths.
