AFS Announces January/February 2020 Programming
Includes series featuring films of Jeanne Moreau and Sidney Poitier, an Austin Studios 20th Anniversary series, John Cameron Mitchell live in-person, Love Stories for Valentine’s Day, and much more.
AUSTIN, TX—Austin Film Society announces its January and February calendar featuring our signature programs, special events and screenings, and a new, diverse lineup of films that filmgoers can only see at the AFS Cinema. Highlights include:For our Essential Cinema program this January, AFS presents Jeanne Moreau: High Season, featuring a selection of masterpieces Moreau starred in from 1958-1963. Too often narrowly viewed as an art house sex symbol or icon of the French New Wave, Moreau was a mesmerizing performer whose performative insights defined an era. Films by five European cinema giants will be presented, including: Diary of a Chambermaid, Elevator to the Gallows, Bay of Angels, Jules & Jim, and La Notte.
Sidney Poitier: The Measure of a Man will be the focus of our February Essential Cinema—showcasing some of the most memorable performances by actor, director, activist and cultural force Sidney Poitier, including The Defiant Ones, Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner, In the Heat of the Night, Paris Blues, and Buck & the Preacher. The series is guest programmed by Mark D. Cunningham, adjunct professor at Austin Community College, who will join us at select screenings to discuss the legacy of the remarkable artist who bore the burden of Hollywood’s race problem during the Civil Rights era.
This February marks the 20th Anniversary of Austin Studios. 20 years and over 600 film and television productions in, we commemorate the milestone of one of the key catalysts for film production in Austin, Austin Studios, operated by AFS. To celebrate, we are presenting three of the most storied productions to shoot at the 20-acre production facility based at the former Robert Mueller Municipal Airport. The series includes the first big-budget production that took a chance on the fledgling studio, Miss Congeniality; the daring and unforgettable Idiocracy, which brought the construction of a derelict White House to the studio lot, and a favorite from one of Austin Studios’ most regular tenants, Troublemaker Studios, with their Grindhouse trailer-turned-film, Machete.
AFS is excited to host a number of special events and screenings in January and February. On January 19, we welcome filmmaker John Cameron Mitchell (Hedwig & The Angry Inch) and composer Bryan Weller as they bring their musical podcast Anthem: Humonculus to Austin. On February 9, we will host an Oscar Red Carpet Viewing Party and livestream the 92nd Annual Academy Awards at AFS Cinema.
Part of our Doc Nights program, we will screen the new documentary Making Waves: The Art of Cinematic Sound, which takes a deep look into sound design—the January 6 screening will be hosted by Austin sound designer and Foley artist Buzz Moran. Writer/director Susan Seidelman joins us on February 8 for a special screening of her feature directorial debut, 1982’s Smithereens, in which a young woman makes her way among the ashes of the declining NY punk scene.
This winter we also spotlight the 10-year anniversary of Brooklyn-based distributor Factory 25 with a special retrospective series. Founded in 2009, Factory 25 has been a force championing uniquely cinematic artistic work by emerging artists. Films in the series include Alex Ross Perry’s The Color Wheel, Nathan Silver’s Stinking Heaven, among others.
Lastly, we invite you to celebrate Valentine’s Day throughout the month of February with our Love Stories series featuring some of our romantic favorites on the big screen. Starting with the 1940’s classic Casablanca, the series continues with Richard Linklater’s beloved Before Trilogy: Before Sunrise, Before Sunset, and Before Midnight starring Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy as lovers in three different parts of their lives, the beautiful and unforgettable cross-country love story Y Tu Mama Tambien, and Weekend, a nuanced look at a gay romance that begins as a casual hookup but changes over the course of 48 hours.
The full January/February 2020 calendar announcement continues below.
Ticket prices range from $9 to $11.25, with discounts for AFS members. Special pricing is noted if applicable.

Essential Cinema: Jeanne Moreau: High Season
In the six years from 1958-1963, Jeanne Moreau was the leading lady in a string of masterpieces that made her an icon of a golden age of auteur cinema. Too often sidelined as an art house sex symbol, Moreau was a brilliant performer whose attention to the inner life of her characters made these films into timeless classics.
Diary of a Chambermaid
Luis Buñuel, France, Italy, 1964, DCP, 97 min, French with English Subtitles.
January 2, January 4
Moreau’s keen sense of satire and physical comedy is at the heart of Luis Bunuel’s torching of the bourgeoisie. Based on Octave Mirbeau’s decadent 1900 novel of manners.
Elevator to the Gallows
Louis Malle, France, 1958, DCP, 91 min, French with English Subtitles.
January 9, January 12
Louis Malle took the lessons of American Noir and made this unbelievably distinct debut feature, scored by Miles Davis. Jeanne Moreau, at the center of the action, is uniquely inspiring as the perpetrator of a crime gone wrong.

Jacques Démy, France, Monaco, 1963, DCP, 90 min, French with English Subtitles.
January 16, January 18
Jeanne Moreau plays a lost woman with a vice threatening to undo her in Jacques Démy’s stunning, tragic love story set in the seaside casinos of Nice. Features one of Michel Legrand’s greatest scores.
Jules & Jim
François Truffaut, France, 1962, DCP, 105 min, French with English Subtitles.
January 23, January 26
Jeanne Moreau’s star making performance was in the role of Catherine, a woman whose heart is unknowable, even to herself, in François Truffaut’s glorious adaptation of Henri Pierre-Roché’s novel about a love triangle among three friends/lovers during and after the first World War.
La Notte
Michelangelo Antonioni, Italy, France, 1961, DCP, 122 min, Italian and French with English Subtitles.
January 30, February 2
Moreau made a perfect Antonioni heroine. The drama and emotion of a marriage in peril can be read through her expressive performance. Co-stars Marcello Mastroianni and Antonioni muse Monica Vitti, a year after L’AVVENTURA.
Essential Cinema: Sidney Poitier: The Measure of a Man
As an actor, director, activist and cultural force, Sidney Poitier has occupied a unique position in film history. As the first black male movie star he bore a special burden, which he carried with both grace and a sense of its gravity. We will be joined at select screenings by series programmer Mark D. Cunningham, adjunct professor at Austin Community College, for discussions about Poitier and his work.
The Defiant Ones
Stanley Kramer, USA, 1958, 35mm, 96 min.
February 6
Sidney Poitier’s breakthrough role came in this very exciting allegorical tale of two prisoners shackled together—one black (Poitier) and one white (Tony Curtis)—who escape from a southern chain gang and must learn to cooperate to survive. In 35mm.
Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner
Stanley Kramer, USA 1967, DCP, 108 min.
February 10
This film, very popular when released, pairs the beloved tandem of Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn with rising star Sidney Poitier in the original MEET THE PARENTS.

Free Member Monday — free for all AFS members.
In the Heat of the Night
Norman Jewison, USA, 1967, DCP, 110 min.
February 13, February 15
When a big city homicide inspector (Sidney Poitier) finds himself stuck in a small Deep South town, he finds himself drafted by the sheriff (Rod Steiger) into helping with a murder investigation. Winner of Best Picture at the 1968 Academy Awards, this truly great American film was a genesis moment of the New Hollywood.

Sidney Poitier directs and stars in this western as a tough trail guide who butts heads with charismatic preacher Harry Belafonte, until they must join forces against a common enemy.
Y Tu Mama Tambien
Alfonso Cuarón, Mexico, 2001, DCP, 106 min, Spanish with English Subtitles.
February 7, February 9, February 12
More a lust story than a love story, Alfonso Cuarón’s road movie about a carefree trio of young people (Diego Luna, Gael García Bernal, Maribel Verdú) having a wild sex-filled summer together is, as we might expect from Cuarón, deceptively deep and full of interesting subtext. Presented in partnership with Cine Las Americas.
Casablanca
Michael Curtiz, USA, 1942, DCP, 102 mins.
February 14, February 15, February 18
It really is a perfect film. In the French colonial outpost of Casablanca, miles away from the guns of WWII, an American nightclub owner (Humphrey Bogart) sees an old flame (Ingrid Bergman) again, but the forces that are driving the world apart threaten to extinguish the fire.
Before Trilogy
Richard Linklater, USA, 1995, 2004, 2013, DCP, 290 mins.
February 16
Starting with BEFORE SUNRISE, Linklater’s 1995 tale of a man and woman (Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy) who meet on a train and spend an overnight layover together, this series has grown organically with the two subsequent films to encompass a kind of romance that is physical, intellectual and spiritual. In short, it is a particularly Austin kind of Valentine’s week trilogy. Please note: Individual tickets for these screenings will also be available
- Before Sunrise
Richard Linklater, USA, 1995, DCP, 101 mins.

Factory 25 Turns 10
This series highlights the impact of Brooklyn-based distributor FACTORY 25, founded in 2009 by Matt Grady. In its short life, FACTORY 25 has helped to change the way we see independent films, and their place in film culture. This influence can be seen today in the work of FACTORY 25 filmmakers like the Safdie Brothers, Lynn Shelton, Andrew Bujalski, and the directors represented in this series.
The Color Wheel
Alex Ross Perry, USA, 2011, DCP, 83 mins.
January 11
We kick off our 10-year anniversary retrospective of the independent distributor Factory 25 with this breakthrough provocative, witty, and perverse black comedy from writer-director Alex Ross Perry (HER SMELL, LISTEN UP PHILIP).

In Nathan Silver’s sick comedy, the occupants of a New Jersey rehab facility explore their various psychodramas together under the tutelage of its cultish directors.
20th Anniversary of Austin Studios
20 years ago, the Austin Film Society moved onto the tarmac of Austin’s decommissioned Robert Mueller Municipal Airport, with a dream to grow Austin’s film industry by establishing production spaces and soundstages in a group of empty airplane hangars. 20 years and over 600 film and television productions later, we commemorate the anniversary of one of the key catalysts for film production in Austin, and the film people who make Austin Studios a community. On this special anniversary, AFS presents three of the most storied films shot on site at Austin Studios including: MISS CONGENIALITY, IDIOCRACY, and MACHETE. Presented in partnership with the Austin Film Commission. Each screening will feature a post-film discussion with local cast and crew.
Idiocracy
Mike Judge, USA, 2006, DCP, 84 min.
February 15
A dystopian future rendition of Costco, a derelict White House and a secret army base were among the sets based at Austin Studios for Mike Judge’s classic 2006 satire of the dumbing down of the American public.
Miss Congeniality
20th Anniversary Screening
Donald Petrie, USA, 2000, 35mm, 109 mins.
February 22
Sandra Bullock’s unbelievable movie star charisma made her the most sought-after leading lady of the aughts and this film a number one box office hit.

Machete
10th Anniversary Screening
Robert Rodriguez, USA, 2010, DCP, 105 mins.

The artistic ninjas at Robert Rodriguez’s Troublemaker Studios created the wild and crazy world of MACHETE and utilized Austin Studios sound stages to bring their vision to life.

Bye Bye Birdie
George Sidney, USA 1963, DCP, 112 mins.
February 1
In this original high school musical, teen idol Conrad Birdie (a nod to Elvis) is drafted into the U.S. Army, much to the dismay of his frenzied fans. A publicity stunt puts one lucky girl (Ann-Margaret in the role that made her a star) in the spotlight as the recipient of his farewell kiss—to the exasperation of her father (the fabulous Paul Lynde) and her jealous boyfriend. Birdie sets hearts afire and mucks up relationships all in the name of catchy songs and hilarious chaos.
Join us for a talk afterwards with local actor and theater teacher, Michelle Malia, as she discusses the historical perspective of the musical and film versions of BYE BYE BIRDIE and suggests other great musicals to view with the whole family.

January 8, January 10, January 11, January 18
Hayao Miyazaki’s masterpiece PRINCESS MONONOKE is a film that, in its story of a struggle between forest gods and the villagers who deplete their resources, traces a dense yet delicate fable about the choice that the human race at large faces.
Cry-Baby
John Waters, USA, 1990, DCP, 85 min.
January 14, January 17, January 18
John Waters’ loving homage to the ’50s teen angst movie is itself a thrilling and hilarious example of the form. Johnny Depp leads an Olympian cast.
Rear Window
Alfred Hitchcock, USA, 1954, DCP, 112 min.
January 24, January 25, January 27
Alfred Hitchcock distilled the quintessence of cinematic voyeurism in this classic murder mystery about a newspaper photographer (Jimmy Stewart) temporarily laid up with a broken leg, and looked after by his fiancee (Grace Kelly), who witnesses a murder in an apartment across the way.
Easy Rider
Dennis Hopper, USA, 1969, DCP, 95 min.
February 2, February 5
Yes, of course it is a defining moment of the New Hollywood, a generational touchstone and all that, but Dennis Hopper’s motorcycle odyssey, starring himself and co-producer Peter Fonda, is a legitimately great movie, and much more experimental than many first- time viewers expect.
Immoral Tales
Walerian Borowczyk, France, 1973, 35mm, 103 min.
