Looking good, Billy Ray
The Austin Film Festival may be nine months away (give or take), but even in the “down months,” AFF stays busy with free member screenings that are also open to the public for just $4.
Next Thursday at the Alamo Drafthouse Lake Creek, they will be screening one of the greatest comedies of all time. As you may have deduced from the headline, that film is “Trading Places.”
In addition to having the pleasure of seeing Eddie Murphy in his prime, Dan Aykroyd and others on the big screen, attendees will be treated to an introduction to the film by its screenwriter, Herschel Weingrod.
In true Alamo fashion, the menu for the evening will be themed in relation to the film. Next Thursday night’s menu theme will be “prince and pauper.” Whatever that is.
[from the promoter]
“Trading Places” kicks off a new monthly screening series at the Alamo Drafthouse Lake Creek. Each month the series will feature either an audience favorite from the festival, local premieres, shorts collections or retrospectives of great films.
AFF presents “Trading Places” Thursday, Feb. 8 @ 7:30 p.m. Alamo Lake Creek [Tickets at the door]
