✺ FILM & FRIENDS IS BACK THIS SUMMER ✺
Austin School of Film’s bi-annual screening series returns to East Austin’s favorite underground cinema club where indie film is always celebrated aka Hyperreal Film Club!
Film & Friends believes film is more than content - it’s culture. This is our lil (BIG) slice of Austin ~ a space for filmmakers making work (sometimes for the first time) where their process matters and experimentation is welcome.
Expect a wild ride with work spanning narratives, documentaries, and music video works.
Tickets open early June. ✦
