7 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 12 – The Spook Who Sat by the Door (1973)
Presenter: Jacqueline Pinkowitz, Mercer University
This groundbreaking film follows a man who uses his insider training to organize a clandestine grassroots movement, offering a bold critique of political power structures. Pinkowitz conceptualized the “underground” theme for this year’s series.
The 28th annual College Town Film Series returns in February 2026 with “Underground” as the guiding theme, inviting audiences to explore stories that unfold beneath the surface.
Hosted each year by Middle Georgia State University, Mercer University, and Wesleyan College, the series will once again take place at the historic Douglass Theatre in downtown Macon.
Screenings are free to students with college IDs and $5 for the general public. A faculty member from one of the participating institutions will introduce each film and lead a discussion with the audience following the movie.
