About the event: The Austin Film Society is pleased to announce a special screening of Joel and Ethan Coen's TRUE GRIT. TRUE GRIT opens nationally on December 22. Special thanks to Paramount Pictures.

Fourteen-year-old Mattie Ross's (Hailee Steinfeld) father has been shot in cold blood by the coward Tom Chaney (Josh Brolin), and she is determined to bring him to justice. Enlisting the help of a trigger-happy, drunken U.S. Marshal, Rooster Cogburn (Jeff Bridges), she sets out with him-over his objections-to hunt down Chaney. Her father's blood demands that she pursue the criminal into Indian territory and find him before a Texas Ranger named LaBoeuf (Matt Damon) catches him and brings him back to Texas for the murder of another man.

Parts of TRUE GRIT were filmed at AFS's Austin Studios.

A limited number of tickets will be available and include the after party at The Belmont (305 W 6th St). Proceeds benefit the Texas Filmmakers' Production Fund, which has granted over $1 million to emerging Texas filmmakers since 1996.
