PEELE-ING BACK THE LAYERS OF NOPE

The idea explored in NOPE of looking away from spectacle is precisely something you can’t avoid when viewing a movie. It brings voyeurism into the film in a way not done so nakedly since Hitchcock’s REAR WINDOW, another film about voyeurism and its relationship to the filmgoing experience.

Let’s All Go To The Movies

Many of the films we show at Other Worlds are acquired for distribution and are available for streaming after the festival but will never show in a theatre in Austin again - and that’s a tragedy. But it also makes what we do unique and special and once in a lifetime.

SOLARIS at Twenty

At its core, SOLARIS is a film about second chances. I'm glad I was able to have a second chance with it. On its 20th anniversary, might you give it a second chance too?
