About us
Watching good movies in the Austin area and hanging out before/after the screenings at bars/restaurants close to the venues.
This group's purpose is to cultivate a community of folks who share the love of Cinema.
We have an active Discord Server to connect with our members: https://discord.gg/E82QUNJrhH
Any attempt to define "arthouse" movies, as it usually goes with definitions, is doomed to fail. A rough demarcation, nevertheless, could do some good. I see the artistic value of a cinematic production in its conscious or unconsciousness attempt for reaching emotional/intellectual depth, to defamiliarize the familiar, to bring out some unknown to the view, to shake and enrich our existence. As such, the attempt is more important than the result and the failures valuable in one way or another.
We do not need to watch Godard backwards to count as an "arthouse movie" club, although that sounds fun. But we won't watch the 537th remake of Superman or James Bond here. Everyone else does. Let's do something more interesting.

To Sleep With Anger - dir: Charles Burnett (USA, 1990, 1h 42min)
AFS Cinema, 6226 Middle Fiskville Rd, Austin, TX, US“Stubbornly evocative … Burnett shows great care in how the camera lingers on small objects … there’s a distinctly poetic hand at work.”
—Screen Slate
“For those who fall under the film’s spell, the rewards are magical.”
—Time Out
They say “if you keep knocking on the devil’s door, sooner or later someone will answer.” But what if the devil comes to you? Danny Glover is drifter Harry Mention, whose arrival from the South lays trouble squarely on the welcome mat of his old friends in South Central L.A.-- Write-up by the Austin Film Society

Passing Through - dir: Larry Clarke/Charles Burnett (USA, 1977, 2h 4mins )
AFS Cinema, 6226 Middle Fiskville Rd, Austin, TX, US”One of the greatest movies about jazz.”
—The New Yorker
“Original and thoughtful … a very special first feature, with a feeling for the music that’s boldly translated into film style.”
—The Chicago Reader
Following his release from prison, musician Eddie Warmack seeks redemption through jazz while avoiding a corrupt industry intent on exploiting art for profit. Rarely screened, Larry Clark’s PASSING THROUGH is a cry for liberation as refined and crisp as a saxophone’s tone. Scored by Horace Tapscott and featuring music by Charlie Parker, John Coltrane, Eric Dolphy, and Sun Ra. Preceded by Charles Burnett’s short WHEN IT RAINS.-- Write-up by the Austin Film Society

Train Dreams - dir: Clint Bentley (USA, 2025, 1h 42mins )
AFS Cinema, 6226 Middle Fiskville Rd, Austin, TX, USNominated for four Academy Awards®, including Best Picture, TRAIN DREAMS is the latest from the AFS-supported creative team of Clint Bentley and Greg Kwedar. Join us for this special 35mm screening of TRAIN DREAMS with Clint Bentley in attendance.
Based on the beloved novella by Denis Johnson, TRAIN DREAMS is the moving portrait of Robert Grainier (Golden Globe-nominee Joel Edgerton), whose life unfolds during an era of unprecedented change in early 20th century America.
Orphaned at a young age, Robert grows into adulthood among the towering forests of the Pacific Northwest, where he helps expand the nation’s railroad empire alongside men as unforgettable as the landscapes they inhabit. After a tender courtship, he marries Gladys (Academy Award®-nominee Felicity Jones), and they build a home together, though his work often takes him far from her and their young daughter. When his life takes an unexpected turn, Robert finds beauty, brutality, and newfound meaning for the forests and trees he has felled.-- Write-up by the Austin Film Society
