Drop off your films and videos for the Texas Film Round-Up free digitization program. Stick around for screenings of historic films of San Antonio and Texas throughout the day.
A partnership between the Texas Archive of the Moving Image (TAMI) and the Office of the Governor’s Texas Film Commission, the Texas Film Round-Up is a statewide effort to preserve and celebrate home movies, advertisements, local television, industrial films, feature films, and other Texas-related moving images. Traveling to locations across the state, the Round-Up is both a drop-off site for TAMI’s free digitization program and an educational event highlighting Texas moving image history through film screenings, demonstrations, lectures, and interactive exhibits.
Mess with Texas
Co-presented by CAMH, Aurora Picture Show, and Texas Archive of the Moving Image
In the spirit of cinematic intervention, we have asked Texas artists Kelly Sears, Alex Luster, Mark and Angela Walley, Bryan Poyser, Scott Stark, and James Johnston to delve into the vast collection of Texas-related movies, newsreels, and homemade films collected by the Texas Archive of the Moving Image (TAMI) and create entirely new works from the footage. These new reworkings are creative intersections of past and present, exploring varying senses of place and home and bringing new life to cinematic memories. Join us for the world premiere of these new works created in conjunction with Perspectives 178: CINEPLEX. Please note that seating is limited so early arrival is recommended (no late seating). Refreshments will be available inside the gallery. The films will also be on view in the gallery on a loop during museum hours, July 6–8.
