THE LEGEND OF BILLIE JEAN tonight!

Wanted: The Texas Film Series Presents
THE LEGEND OF BILLIE JEAN at the Alamo Ritz!
Tickets and Info here

The Texas Archive of the Moving Image presents the final installment of some of the best (and most rare) Texas film treasures this week at the Ritz...so if you call yourself a Texan, listen up.

This film is not on DVD! Helen Slater and Christian Slater (unrelated, despite their roles as siblings) star in this 1980s cult classic about a Corpus Christi teenager who becomes an outlaw in her quest for justice. Fighting under the slogan "Fair is fair," Billie Jean goes on the run from the law with her brother and best friends, becoming an unlikely hero for oppressed teens everywhere. After cutting her hair as an homage to Joan of Arc, the once demure Billie Jean transforms into an authentic Texas outlaw by taking a righteous and inspiring stand against The Man. One of the all-time greatest Youth in Revolt films, and an incredibly rare theatrical experience.

And just to sweeten the pot, the fine folks from Scooter Revolution have donated a 150cc scooter (just like Billie Jean's!) which you can buy a raffle ticket to win before each of these three screenings! The prize will be awarded after the screening tonight! All proceeds go to The Texas Archive of the Moving Image.

THE LEGEND OF BILLIE JEAN will also play again on Saturday at the Ritz for a special brunchtime show, so if you miss it tonight, don't miss it on Saturday. You'll be sorry you did.

Finally, serious Texans, if you've got your own 'Texas'-related moving images, then bring them to Alamo South Lamar on Sunday, March 8, for the Texas Film Round-Up! Texas Archive for the Moving Image will be on hand to digitize your Texas treasures to be included in the archive for all time! Plus, they'll give you your very own digital copy! Plus plus, they're going to treat us to a screening of the very best and most rare treats from their collection, including some of the earliest known moving imagery of Austin!

Come out and support this very important project...and see an incredible film while your at it.
