Alright, alright, alright!

Why go cruising the strip or climbing the moon tower when you could spend it at your favourite indie movie theatre instead?

Get ready to toast Austin, Texas filmmaker Richard Linklater on July 6 with back-to-back viewings of two 90's-era classics from his canon that best exemplify the "wandering eye," pre-mumblecore aesthetic for which he is best known. We're firing up the projector for a double feature that includes both the 1991 indie darling SLACKER (that caught the attention of critics - and Madonna), and a 30th Anniversary screening of DAZED AND CONFUSED (which caught the attention of, well, everyone else).

Thursday, July 6

SLACKER (Richard Linklater, 1991 / 18A / 97 mins) A day in the life of Austin, Texas as the camera roams from place to place and provides a brief look at the overeducated, the social misfits, the outcasts and the oddballs.
