The event will commence Friday, Oct. 2 in the Foster Auditorium at the Paterno Library from 3:30 to 5 p.m. The event will serve as a celebration of sorts, highlighting Penn State’s on-field success against military athletics. Along with displaying some of the most treasured moments in Penn State football history, the event will showcase a number of guest speakers, including Col. Guion Bluford, a United State Air Force veteran, esteemed Penn State alumnus, and the first African-American astronaut to go to space.
At the film festival, fans can relive Penn State football memories spanning decades, ranging from 1943 to 2012. 11 games against Army, Navy, and Air Force will be showcased and honored thanks to the Penn State University Sports Archives and the Special Collections Library. Seating for the event is limited, so fans who’d like to attend the event should arrive early.
