  Roar (1981)

  Weird Wednesday: In keeping with the cultural moment we are having thanks to Tiger King, Alamo Drafthouse re-releases Roar, a weird and wild tale of humans living alongside dozens of lions and tigers (no bears). Often called "the most dangerous movie ever made," reputedly no animals were harmed during the filming, but 70 cast and crew members were. The film will be available starting April 15, and will feature a Q&A with co-star John Marshall. Some of the proceeds will go to a fund assisting members of the filmmaking community. Read a full review of Roar.

  The Booksellers Panel Discussion

  In commemoration of the new virtual release of the doc The Booksellers, opening April 17 via Austin Film Society, enjoy a panel discussion with AFS's Lars Nilsen that peeks into the lives of some favorite local booksellers, South Congress Books’ Sheri Tornatore and Half Price Books North Lamar’s Merrit Spencer and Turisa Rucker. It's a real treat for fans of local bookstores, and might soothe your separation anxiety a bit while we wait for them to reopen.
