Now Playing at Alamo South Lamar!
WE LIVE IN PUBLIC tickets available here
BEESWAX tickets available here

Two incredible films open today at the Alamo South Lamar- two films which, despite unanimous critical praise, will enjoy only a limited theatrical release due to their lack of zombies or a Jolie. So listen up Enjoyers of masterful filmmaking and help spread the word! You will love these movies, plus you'll be doing your part to stave off the inevitable Nationwide pithing from the likes of the TRANSFORMERS prequel and Rob Zombie's THE GODFATHER.

WE LIVE IN PUBLIC
With Director Ondi Timoner live in person for Friday 10/9 and Saturday 10/10 night shows! On the 40th anniversary of the Internet, WE LIVE IN PUBLIC tells the story of the effect the web is having on our society, as seen through the eyes of the "greatest Internet pioneer you've never heard of," visionary Josh Harris. Award-winning director, Ondi Timoner (DIG!), documented his tumultuous life for more than a decade, to create a riveting, cautionary tale of what to expect as the virtual world inevitably takes control of our lives.

BEESWAX
Director Andrew Bujalski will be live in person on Friday evening, October 9, and also at the Sunday 4:15 and 7:05 screenings! Set & filmed in Austin, TX by local director Andrew Bujalski (FUNNY HA HA, MUTUAL APPRECIATION), BEESWAX centers around twin sisters Jeannie & Lauren (played by real life twins Tilly & Maggie Hatcher, luminous in their first starring roles) living/loving/working & struggling with decisions that will shape the rest of their lives. Jeannie runs a vintage clothing store with an increasingly estranged partner, and a brewing confrontation between them sets the story in motion as Jeannie turns to an ex-boyfriend, Merrill (Alex Karpovsky), who is recently graduated from law school and all too eager to try to fix her problems as a way of ignoring his own.
