Tobe Hooper, Engineer of Our Childhood Nightmares, to Screen First Film at SXSW

Tobe Hooper, a legendary Austin native, began his cinematic career in 1969 with a quiet little experimental film called Eggshells, which he will be resurrecting on Tuesday March 17th, at 7:30pm during SXSW 2009.. The story follows a group of University of Texas undergrads who live together in a house (we think in Hyde Park, more specifically on Avenue F), who later discover that one of the beings they are living with is a ghost, or more accurately a “crypto-embryonic-hyper-electric entity" living in the basement.

Wednesday, February 25, the Octopus Project and the Alamo Drafthouse are combining experimental rock and experimental film into one amazingly unique, kooky concoction of coolness (alliteration! Ho!).

Everybody knows how hard goodbyes are, but this Sunday’s Opera House Store Closing Party promises a celebration of everything we love about the arts in Austin. The Opera House Collective enjoyed a vibrant three years of providing local artists with gallery and performance space, as well as an inspiring outlet for handmade retail. Their longtime support of the local noise and experimental music scene renders a fitting live soundtrack from Night Viking, Nano Bang Bang, Teddy and Marge, and Ich Ni San Chi. Lori16mm will screen experimental/collage films on handmade analog projectors.
