Mark will host a screening of Sydney Pollack’s They Shoot Horses Don’t They? (18) This 1969 Academy Award winning picture tells the story of a group of characters desperate struggle to win a dance marathon, and the opportunistic emcee who urges them on to victory.
“In addition to everything else it does, "Horses" holds our attention because it tells us something we didn't know about human nature and American society. It tells us a lot more than that, of course, but because it works on this fundamental level as well it is one of the best American movies of the 1970s” - Roger Ebert
