Join us for a special screening of Wildcat, the Flannery O'Connor biopic directed by Ethan Hawke and starring Maya Hawke. This event celebrates the 100th anniversary of O'Connor's birth and honors her enduring literary legacy.

Presented in conjunction with our ORIGIN program—featuring her work in this year's anthology—the evening begins with a pre-screening conversation with Flannery O’Connor scholar Dr. Christina Bieber Lake, exploring themes of evil in O'Connor's writing and her continued cultural relevance. A reception and Q&A will follow the film, offering space to connect and reflect on O'Connor's life and work.

Whether you're a film lover, a literature fan, or simply enjoy great storytelling, this promises to be a memorable evening.
