Austin Underground Film Fest | Event Preview

Fri. 12.19.08 @ Salvage Vanguard Theater in East Austin

In their ongoing mission to excavate the greatest finds in subterranean cinema history, the archaeologists behind the 3rd Annual Austin Underground Film Festival have delved deeper into the darkest recesses of the global brain’s collective unconscious than ever before to bring you stop-motion Argentinian graffiti bombings, Mexican revenge odysseys, Maltese gypsy documentaries and frank portraits of disaffected Parisian youth. Tales of animated lunacy, feminist go-go dancers and gore-soaked backyard kung fu epics will scorch your eyeballs from their sockets as you beg for a swift and merciful death which will never come. Then, just when you’re nihilistically adrift in the final throes of a celluloid-induced existential crisis and questioning all that you hold dear, they rescue you from the brink of the abyss and restore your faith in the fundamental decency of the human race with sketch comedy noir, no-budget 80s music video kitsch and Iranian love stories set in war-torn Afghanistan. Usher in the new year with classic retrospectives, studies in obscurantism, and brand new stick figure pathos by the master Don Hertzfeldt, plus tributes to Metal Slug, William Burroughs and Don Knotts.

Rock ‘n’ roll after party with HACIENDA, whose new album, produced by The Black Keys, has the critics gasping for superlatives, and THE STRANGE BOYS, whose new album Austin Scaggs of Rolling Stone describes merely as “the shit.” B.Y.O. Beer, Liquor, ‘Tussin, or whatever poison gets your teenage kicks. Here’s your chance to mingle with starving filmmakers, drink wine from a cup inside one of East Austin’s premiere venues, and observe real-life hipsters in their natural habitat and gain their trust by dropping words like “parallax” and “verite” until you move freely among them and feel like a discriminating member of the cognoscenti.

With falafels and beverages by Ararat, cookies by Starlet Sweets, complimentary Red Bull, door prizes by SmoCo smoke shop and I Luv Video, and free massages by Sherri Chapman. Artwork by painter David Ohlerking will be on display in the theater lobby. After party sponsored by Junior’s Beer & Wine and Live Music Capitol Magazine. The Capitol Production along with Austin Underground Productions will also be filming the bands for live music videos. Come be a part of the art while enjoying it with us.

Doors open at 6pm, pre-show 6:30, films @ 7:00. All ages, limited seating, advance tickets available now at AustinUndergroundFilm.com
