Sense / Memory: Films of Paul Schrader - "Patty Hearst" with Introduction by WNP

Jan 15, 2025 7:30pm-9:30pm (Wednesday) at 4 Star Theater 2200 Clement Street

Grab your friends and join us for a screening of Paul Schrader's film "Patty Hearst" at the 4 Star Theater on Wednesday, January 15, 2025.

Based on a renowned true story, this drama follows college student and newspaper heiress Patty Hearst (Natasha Richardson) as she is abducted at the hands of left-wing extremists. Held captive by members of the Symbionese Liberation Army, Hearst is exposed to their beliefs and eventually cooperates with the group, even taking part in a number of bank robberies. Later, Hearst is apprehended, and authorities must determine how to deal with her highly unusual case.

The year this took place (1974) was a wild one for San Francisco, and WNP will set the scene with some historic context in a special introduction to maximize your viewing experience. Plus, you'll learn more about the Sunset District bank job that is featured in the film. Get there early to get the best popcorn in town and snag the best seats.

Tickets can be purchased at the window or in advance on the 4 Star website by using the link in the "more info" field below.
