Acid Test: Encore Screening

After selling out its Houston Premiere during the Houston Cinema Arts Festival in November 2021, Houston Cinema Arts Society presents an encore screening of Acid Test on Tuesday, December 7th at Eureka Heights Brew Co (941 W 18th St, Houston, TX 77008) at 7:30pm.

Set in 1992, Acid Test is a coming-of-age rebellion story fueled by Riot Grrrl music, a dysfunctional family, and LSD. Against the backdrop of the presidential election between Bush, Clinton, and Perot, a girl of mixed-descent - her mother is Mexican and her father is white American - enters her senior year with life-long plans to attend Harvard, just like her Dad. But she gains new insight into her father's volatile behavior as she discovers Riot Grrrl, an aggressive feminist punk music, and when an opportunity presents to drop LSD, she impulsively takes it. As she drifts farther and farther from "the plan," she dives into new experiences, exploring her Mexican heritage, defining herself on her own terms, and rebelling against her father's control.

Following the screening you are invited to hang out with the filmmaker, Jenny Waldo, and local crew for a special Meet & Greet.
