Feral Cinema Released Into the Wild
The Chronicle's Marc Savlov teams up with forces from I Luv Video and the Austin Underground Film Society to celebrate films on the fringe
By Kimberley Jones, Fri., Jan. 22, 2010
You may know him as the Meanest Critic in America™ but the Chronicle's Marc Savlov actually has a lot of love to give – especially to underseen cult and fringe films. Starting Jan. 21, he'll host a new monthly program called Feral Cinema alongside fellow series architects Charles Lieurance of I Luv Video (hey, happy 25th, guys!) and Andy Gately of the Austin Underground Film Society. Expect a sort of multimedia viewing party with cheap drinks. First up: Who Is KK Downey?, the 2008 Canadian festival film inspired by the hip-lit-con-artist JT LeRoy.
Feral Cinema kicks off Thursday, Jan. 21, 8pm at the United States Art Authority. Admission is $5. For more info, visit www.feralcinema.com.
