Secret Cinema: Screening "Popcorn" (1991) w/ We Luv Video & ATX VHS SWAP

  • Motion Media Arts Center 2200 Tillery Street Austin, TX, 78723 United States (map)

Join us for an October of cinematic delights as we delve into the meta-horror film "Popcorn" presented in collaboration with ATX VHS Swap and We Luv Video. And no, we're not talking about getting "zucked" here (though that's equally terrifying in its own right).

Expect a relaxed and enjoyable experience centered around the love of cinema, film discussions, and delicious refreshments. In Austin, there are numerous ways to immerse yourself in the world of film (shout-out to our friends at Hyperreal Film Club), and this event is not an exception providing a DIY “pop up movie theater” vibe for all.  

This month's screening is meticulously curated by the 501c nonprofit video store and center, WE LUV VIDEO. Reserve your spot by RSVPing below!
