“Carros y Cultura: Lowriding Legacies in Texas”
Thanks to Seventies funk band War, the word “lowrider” often calls to mind the unforgettable sax riff of the band’s 1975 No. 1 single. But lowrider can mean a snazzy customized car with hydraulics or a person who works on such a vehicle, and the culture around these cars has strengthened Mexican American communities in the Southwest since the Forties. Learn more about them at this exhibit featuring an interactive touchscreen mural, cars and bikes on display, and stories about the people who make lowriding a community. A member reception takes place May 18. – Kat McNevinsThrough Sept. 2 -

Dirty Martin’s 98th Birthday
Plans change, as they say. When the city proposed a route for its new light rail, it seemed like Austin’s oldest burger joint was going to be demolished just short of its centennial. With a shifted route, this 98th birthday celebration is no longer a sad farewell but a warm up for the big show in two years’ time. The dirt floors on which John Martin set his flat-top grill and eight-stool bar in 1926 may have been covered up over the years, but the tradition of Dirty’s – home to Quentin Tarantino’s favorite burger in Austin – lives on. Stop by to relive your UT glory days, with a cake-cutting and complimentary shakes at 7pm. – Richard WhittakerThu., July 11 -

Splash Dance! With Erica Nix
The host herself – Erica Nix, star of screen, sweating, and shows in MASS Gallery’s yard – warns that this pool party sells out quick. That means if you’re interested in getting wild and weird in the water, if you’re a real aqua aerobics all-star, if you love to get really really wet, then don’t spend another second reading this event listing! Jump on that wheezing ol’ laptop of yours and log on to Austin Motel dot com to claim your spot. If you’re too slow, well. Lucky you this is an every-Sunday type of deal. – James ScottSundays -

Stalker (1979)
Careful what you wish for: That’s the warning at the heart of sci-fi classic Stalker. For his final Russian film, Andrei Tarkovsky asked brothers Arkady and Boris Strugatsky to adapt their 1972 novel Roadside Picnic about a three-man pilgrimage to a mysterious Room in a bizarre place known as the Zone. The midpoint between War and Peace and Jeff VanderMeer’s Annihilation, its haunting imagery and subtle terrors will make you question what it is you really want – unless what you want is a ticket for this unmissable classic. – Richard WhittakerJuly 5-7 -

Sundance Short Film Festival Tour 2024
It often feels like the fate of a short film after festival season is ignominious anonymity at the whim of some streaming platform’s algorithm. Luckily, Utah’s Sundance Film Festival is giving these short but sweet delights more time on the big screen. The touring selection of seven miniature wonders includes three award-winners from this year’s festival: Spanish class war satire “The Masterpiece” (Short Film Grand Jury Prize), Japanese interspecies rom-com “Pisko the Crab Child in Love” (Special Jury Prize for Directing), and sexy insect comedy “Bug Diner” (Jury Award: Animation).: – Richard WhittakerJuly 4-10 -
