  Her Dog Satan (1991)

  Hurl yourself into the Austin punk scene of 1991 with Her Dog Satan, a recently resurrected vampire thriller shot at the legendary Cannibal Club complete with a score by members of Living Pins, Foot Patrol, the Cherubs, and Butthole Surfers. As the Lone Star State’s two greatest film preservationists, the Texas Archive of the Moving Image and the nonprofit American Genre Film Archive have teamed up to bring this seemingly lost mosh into the city’s underground. Stick around as AGFA unreels other local classics of the era, including Invasion of the Aluminum People (a favorite of Silence of the Lambs director Jonathan Demme) and Student Academy Awards-nominated horror Mask of Sarnath, with its score by industrial pioneers Throbbing Gristle. – Richard Whittaker

  Time Passages (2024)

  In the pandemic, time was our friend: The longer we could wait, the better the chances a cure could be found and we could all be together. But for Kyle Henry, time was the enemy as his mother’s dementia accelerated and stripped away years of memories. As part of the AFS Cinema Doc Days season, Henry returns to Austin from his home in Chicago with Time Passages, his new and deeply personal documentary in which he reconstructs his family history and his mother’s memories through the family’s archive of Kodachrome film footage. Stick around for a Q&A with Henry, editor Karen Skloss (The Honor Farm) and producer Jason Wehling (Saturday Morning Massacre). – Richard Whittaker

  In the Lone Star Wars State

  Does Texas have the best Star Wars fans? That’s what Alejandro Cabrera examines in his new documentary about how the Skywalker saga has found a particular home in the Lone Star State. From the joy of building your own Jedi costume to the moving story of how the fandom gathered around one of its own in his final days, Cabrera’s film celebrates the best of those that follow the Force. Stick around after the screening for a Q&A and some very special guests. The Bullock is also providing Star Wars-themed craft tables to build your own Yoda ears, or you can just get your photo taken with Mandalorians, Jedi, or droids. Read our interview with Cabrera online at austinchronicle.com/screens. – Richard Whittaker
