Oscar-winning film director William Friedkin will visit Chapman University’s Folino Theater tonight (Oct. 12) to field questions from the audience after the school screens his 1973 classic, “The Exorcist.” Folino is located inside Marion Knotts Studios at 283 N. Cypress, near the corner of Cypress and Palm, along the railroad tracks. The event is free and Friedkin also is expected to discuss his own highly praised film, “The French Connection,” which was released in 1971 and earned him the Oscar for best director.

Friedkin’s appearance is part of a fall film series that will include a visit by actor Richard Dreyfus on Nov. 2. The school will screen Drefyus’ classic, “Close Encounters of the Third Kind.” That event also will be held at Folino  Theater and is open to the public.
