Grateful Undead

Join the filmmakers of this film as they cart it around on their bikes from venue to venue across Austin!

Set in the grunge-soaked heyday of the early 90's, "The Grateful Undead" is a shocking surrealistic spectacle about what happens when social waste turns toxic! Eno the Zero and Dr. Zog are two wastoids cut adrift in the Summer of '69. Disenchantment reigns supreme as they trudge through the junk food wasteland of mini-marts and parking lots. Their dense, hallucinatory haze draws the attention of flower-child wannabes who yearn for love and freedom in an age of apathy and rage. Take a stomach-turning psychedelic journey to a world of baby boomer nostalgia, tie-dyed in blood!

Doug Zachary, Viet Nam War resister and President of the Austin chapter of Veterans For Peace (VFP), will share the music and prophecy of recently deceased VFP Lifetime Member Utah Phillips and open a discussion concerning the relationship between Militarism and Anarchy. Utah was a world-renown singer-songwriter and a long-time member of the Catholic Worker and the Industrial Workers of the World. As an enlisted soldier in the United States Army, he deserted while stationed in Korea and sought out the Korea House, where progressives of many stripes were working to humanize the relations between Koreans and United States military personnel. His exposure there led him into a lifetime of enquiry into the nature of patriarchal and capitalist oppression and into his struggle for peace and justice. Come and honor Utah and help us to imagine better relations between ourselves, the means of production, and the Earth.

Spanish Language Film Series

De La Calle (2001, 90 min, In Spanish with English subtitles)

The award-winning Mexican movie "De la Calle" presents an engrossing, contemporary look at the life of teenagers and young children living on and under the streets of Mexico City. Although not a documentary, the film is able to create a gritty, realistic atmosphere. It manages to evoke a bleak beauty and some sense of hope amid the squalor and depravity.

"De la Calle" follows 15-year-old Rufino and his girlfriend, Xochitl, as they try to escape from the poverty of the urban sprawl of the capital for a new life in the port city of Veracruz. They dream of gazing at the sea. Rufino is a charismatic youth and natural born leader, but he is not the upstanding hero of romantic films of yore: He is a drug runner who fearlessly scams dealers and tries to outwit his connections.
