The Austin Cinematheque is a film collective based upon the glory days of Cinematexas. Before Cinematexas resurfaced in the early 90's as a short film festival, it thrived for decades as a repertory film series showcasing the best of classic and independent cinema. Many of Austin's leading filmmakers and film writers throughout the 70's and 80's spent their days watching these screenings free of charge on the University of Texas campus. Programmed in the vein of the Cinematheque Francais in Paris, Cinematexas represented a chance for feature films by artists, mavericks, and enfant terribles from all walks of life to share the same screen throughout the semester. With the introduction of the Austin Cinematheque Series, we hope to inspire the same kind of excitement in our audiences by providing a free venue for cinema's greatest known works, to be projected in their natural state.

At the request of the Texas Union we have changed our name to
The Austin Cinematheque.

All screenings are held at 7:30pm in the
Texas Union Theatre on the UT campus.
