Richard Linklater’s lo-fi masterpiece, Slacker, the film for tonight’s Now Streaming in Austin live Tweet

Welcome to Now Streaming in Austin, highlighting locally made titles to watch while self-quarantining.

There’s no greater touchstone for the birth of Austin as a cinematic cultural center than Richard Linklater’s Slacker.

So, at 8pm CST on Thursday, April 16, we’ll be livetweeting as we watch this landmark movie. Join us on Twitter (Screens Editor Richard Whittaker will be tweeting from his account @YorkshireTX). </p

We’d love you to join in on our big Slacker thread, using the hashtags #NowStreamingInAustin and #Slacker. Even if all you want to do is complain about how Austin isn’t what it used to be, we’d love to have you along for the watch.

See you tonight at 8pm!
