Flicker #1 inaugurates this new bimonthly film festival that features short films by local filmmakers and all other enthusiasts who dare submit via mail. Flicker guarantees an array of projects and intriguing juxtapositions at every screening, with linear narratives butting up against radical experiments, polished productions followed by earnest first efforts. All films are under 15 minutes in length and originate on film. All admission proceeds go toward the Flicker Film Grant, which awards $100 to a deserving local filmmaker at each and every Flicker. Refreshments will be available, but Flicker is a BYOB event. See www.flickeraustin.com for info and directions.
